Steve Fuller to be Clemson Legend at ACC Championship

Aug. 7, 2010

CLEMSON, SC – Former Clemson All-American Steve Fuller will be Clemson’s Legend representative at the 2010 ACC Football Championship weekend in Charlotte, NC. The Legends will be honored at the Dr. Pepper ACC Championship game weekend December 3-4. The game will be played at Banks of America Stadium at 7:45 PM on December 4.

Fuller, who played for the Tigers between 1975-78, was a dangerous pass-run threat as a quarterback, who was one of the centerpieces of the Clemson teams of the late 1970’s that brought the Tigers back to national prominence in college football. One of only five two-time ACC Football Players of the Year (1977, 1978), he led Clemson to a 27-8-1 record in his final three seasons with the Tigers including an 11-1 mark, an ACC Championship and a No. 6 national ranking in 1978.

One of only three players in Clemson history to be named both an Academic All-America (twice, 1977-78) and a football All- America (1978, 3rd-team) in the same year, Fuller was chosen to the prestigious NCAA Top Five Award in 1978 for excellence in athletics and academics.

A charter member of Clemson’s “Ring of Honor,” Fuller lettered four times (1975-78) for the Tigers and was a first-round draft pick of the Kansas City Chiefs and the 23rd overall selection in the 1979 NFL Draft. He went on to an eight-year NFL career with Kansas City, Chicago and the L.A. Rams, throwing for 7,156 yards, 28 TDs and a 56.8 completion percentage in 86 NFL games.

While in Chicago, he was a member of the 1985 NFL Champion Chicago Bears. In 2003, he was named to the ACC’s 50th Anniversary Football Team. Originally a native of Enid, Oklahoma, Fuller currently lives in Bluffton, S.C.
