Da'Quan Bowers is one of three defensive players on the first team

Four Clemson players, including three starters from the Tigers ACC leading scoring defense, have been named first-team All-ACC. The team was released by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association on Monday.

Clemson defensive end Da’Quan Bowers, safety DeAndre McDaniel and defensive tackle Jarvis Jenkins, were all named first-team All-ACC from the Clemson unit that ranks ninth in the nation in scoring defense. Clemson had more first-team selections to the All-ACC defensive team than any other school.

It is the first time Clemson has had three first-team selections on defense since the 2000 season and the first time Clemson has had four first-team selections total since 2007.

Chris Hairston was the only Clemson player on offense to make first team All-ACC. Tight end Dwayne Allen was a second team selection.

Quarterbacks were the talk of the day Tuesday at Clemson.  Kyle Parker and Tajh Boyd of Clemson, and Russell Wilson of NC State.

Parker clearly remains Clemson’s starter though Boyd said yesterday he was told by Dabo Swinney he will play against NC State.   Parker was asked Tuesday his reaction to Boyd’s comments.

Clemson tight end Dwayne Allen, after not being much of a factor in the passing game the previous two games, bounced back with a 7 catch effort against Boston College last week.  Hopes to continue with the same kind of production this Saturday against a good NC State defense.

Jenkins on Outland Trophy Watch List

August 5, 2010 By

Clemson senior defensive tackle Jarvis Jenkins is one of 11 ACC players on the Outland Trophy preseason Watch List for 2010. The award is presented each year to the top interior lineman (offense or defense) in college football. The winner will be announced December 9 in Orlando, FL on the Home Depot College Football Awards show on ESPN.

Jenkins is one of 63 players on the list nationally, including 11 ACC players. Jenkins is one of just three ACC defensive linemen on the list. He is joined by Marvin Austin of North Carolina  and Marcus Forston of Miami (FL).

Jenkins was one of three Clemson players on the Nagurski Award preseason watch list. That award goes to the top defensive player in college football. Last week, Jenkins was named a first-team preseason All-ACC choice by the media covering the ACC Football Kickoff in Greensboro.

The senior from Clemson and Daniel High School had 69 tackles last year to lead all Clemson defensive linemen. He also had 11 tackles for loss and seven quarterback pressures. He started all 14 games and contributed to a Clemson defense that ranked in the top 25 in the nation in scoring defense and total defense.

For his career, Jenkins has 113 tackles, including 22 tackles for loss. He has more tackles for loss than any other active Clemson player. He has played in 37 games, 26 as a starter.

No Clemson player has won the Outland Trophy, an award that was first given in 1946. The program has had two finalists, Michael Dean Perry in 1987 and Stacy Long in 1990.

Three Tigers make preseason All-ACC

July 28, 2010 By

Clemson seniors DeAndre McDaniel, Jarvis Jenkins and Chris Hairston have all been named first-team preseason All-ACC by the media covering last weekend’s ACC Football Kickoff in Greensboro, NC. The team was announced on Wednesday.

McDaniel had 48 votes on the 52 ballots that were cast, more than any other player, offense or defense. The senior from Tallahassee, FL, had eight interceptions and 102 tackles last year, the only player in the nation with at least eight interceptions and 100 tackles. He was first-team All-American as a junior by the Football Writers Association and a first-team All-ACC performer at safety.

Jenkins will join McDaniel on Clemson’s defense this year. The native of Clemson was an honorable mention All-ACC pick last year when he had 69 tackles, more than any other Clemson defensive lineman. He was fifth on the team in tackles overall and his 11 tackles for loss ranked second behind Ricky Sapp.

Hairston was a second-team All-ACC selection as an offensive tackle last year when he helped create holes for Clemson’s highest scoring team in history on a total points basis (436). He started 12 of the 14 games last year and Clemson had a 9-3 record in those games. The native of Winston-Salem, NC had seven knockdown blocks and an 85 percent grade in Clemson’s 40-37 overtime win at Miami last year. He has started in each of Clemson’s last three bowl games

McDaniel and Jenkins will return to Clemson

Clemson first-team All-American DeAndre McDaniel and starting defensive tackle Jarvis Jenkins will both return for their senior seasons. Both players met with Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney on Tuesday and informed Swinney of their respective decisions.

McDaniel will be the first returning first-team All-American to the Clemson program since Anthony Simmons in 1997. Simmons was a first-team selection as a sophomore in 1996 by The Sporting News, then was a consensus All-American and first-round draft choice as a junior in 1997.

McDaniel will be a prime candidate for the Thorpe Award in 2010. Next year, he has a chance to join Terry Kinard and Donnell Woolford as the only two-time first-team All-America defensive backs in Clemson history.

McDaniel had eight interceptions this year to lead the ACC and rank fourth in the nation. The total tied the Clemson single season record. The native of Tallahassee, FL was named a first-team All-American by the Football Writers Association. He was also a second-team All-American by Si.com, and College Football News, and was a third team pick by Sporting News. He was a first-team All-ACC selection as well.

McDaniel was a big reason Clemson finished sixth in the nation in pass defense and 20th in total defense this season. He was fourth on the Clemson team in tackles with 102, including 74 first hits, which ranked second on the team. He is the first player in Clemson history to record at least eight interceptions and 100 tackles in the same year.

The safety had six tackles and two interceptions in the win over eighth ranked Miami (FL) and was named National Defensive Player of the Week by the Bronko Nagurski Award committee. He is also a candidate for the 2009 National Defensive Back of the Year Award by the College Football Performance Awards.

“I want to help Clemson to an ACC Championship and get my degree,” said McDaniel, who is slated to graduate from Clemson in August. “We got close this year and now we are all even more hungry to take it one more step and bring an ACC championship to Clemson.”

“DeAndre should be one of the top defensive players in the nation next year,” said Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “People forget last year was his first year playing the safety position. He will benefit even more by another year.”

Jenkins was Clemson’s top tackler among defensive linemen with 69 stops, including 11 tackles for loss, tied for second best on the team. Jenkins was an honorable mention All-ACC defensive tackle in 2009. He was ranked as the fourth best junior defensive tackle in the nation by Mel Kiper at the end of the season.
