#17 Jersey

On July 25, it was announced that sophomore linebacker Stanley Hunter was forced to quit playing football due to medical reasons. Hunter, who lead the 2008 team in fewest plays per tackle, was suffering from an increase in seizures due to epilepsy. [1] On August 18, Coach Swinney announced that several players would alternate wearing #17 during the season as a way to honor Stanley Hunter. [2]

List of Players wearing #17 during the season:

  • LB Brandon Maye (Middle Tennessee)
  • QB Willy Korn (Georgia Tech)
  • FB Chad Diehl (Boston College)
  • WR Xavier Dye (TCU)
  • WR Marquan Jones (Maryland)
  • S DeAndre McDaniel (Wake Forest)
  • RB Jamie Harper (Miami)
  • S Sadat Chambers (Coastal Carolina)
  • S Rashard Hall (Florida State)
  • CB Crezdon Butler (NC State)
  • LB Kavell Conner (Virginia)
  • WR Jacoby Ford (South Carolina)

Three of the players who will wear #17 (Korn, Diehl, and Dye) were also teammates with Hunter at James F. Brynes High School in Spartanburg, SC. Stanley Hunter remains a member of the Clemson team, serving as a student-coach this season for the Tigers.

#6 jersey

Cornerback Chris Chancellor, whose normal number is #38, wore #6, the normal number of wide receiver Jacoby Ford, for the Miami game. (Under college football rules, two or more players on a team can wear the same number as long as only one is on the field at a time.) Chancellor, a native of Miami, made the change with the blessing of both Ford and Swinney in memory of his former high school teammate Jasper Howard, a cornerback who wore #6 for Connecticut and was murdered in the early morning of October 18 following UConn's game against Louisville.[3]
