CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Hunter Renfrow snagged the game-winning touchdown in the College Football Playoff national championship game, was selected in the fifth round of the NFL draft and even made the Pro Bowl.

But he said few things in his football career will ever compare to the chills he got from touching Howard's Rock and running down the steep grass hill and onto the playing surface at Memorial Stadium before every Clemson home game.

“I mean, 80,000 people screaming,” Renfrow said. “I think it’s one of the best traditions in college football.”

The rock is a big part of that tradition. It is a literal totem, one of the most well-known across college football along with the likes of the “Play Like a Champion Today” signs at Oklahoma and Notre Dame and the M Club banner at Michigan.
