CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -Former Clemson star C.J. Spiller’s not done with Death Valley.
Athletic spokesman Tim Bourret says the school will retire Spiller’s No. 28 at a ceremony when the Tigers play Maryland at home on Oct. 16. Spiller was the Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year last fall and taken No. 9 overall in the NFL draft by Buffalo.
The Bills have a bye week Oct. 17, making Spiller available for the honor.
Spiller, of Lake Butler, Fla., capped a stellar career last season by finishing as the ACC’s all-time leader in all-purpose yardage with 7,558. He also set an NCAA mark with eight kickoff return touchdowns.
He was the only player to score a touchdown in all his games last season and finished sixth in voting for the Heisman Trophy.
