13 - Defensive MVP Brentson Buckner Recorded 13 Tackles in 1993 Peach Bowl Win

Before Clemson:

Growing up, Buckner was too big to play football with the kids his age. He dern near might have killed them. The Tampa Bay Times asked Buckner about his best day. He responded as follows:

What was the best day of your life?

Well, I'll speak athletically: when my dad told me that I could play football. Because growing up, I couldn't play Little League because I was too big. I was 9 years old and almost 200 pounds. And the only way I could play was to play with the 13-year-olds, and my dad was going to put me out there with them. So when I finally graduated to sixth grade, he said, "Now you can play football."

https://www.tampabay.com/blogs/bucs/2018/08/30/why-brentson-buckner-could-be-the-bucs-most-interesting-man/


While at Clemson:

Tigernet describes Brentson Buckner’s playing career at Clemson as follows:

“Buckner won the ACC Championship in 1991 as starting defensive tackle with the late Chester McGlockton. He also started in 1992 and 1993. He led the Tigers to nine wins in 1993, including a 14-13 win over Kentucky in the Peach Bowl. He was the defensive MVP of that game when he had 13 tackles.”

https://www.tigernet.com/clemson-football/player/brentson-buckner-261


Wikipedia adds the following:

“Buckner played college football at Clemson University, and was a first-team All-ACC selection in his senior year. In addition to ranking fourth all-time in school history with 46 tackles for a loss, he also set a school record with a 1,220 pound lift on a leg sled.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brentson_Buckner

As mentioned above, one of Brentson Buckner’s biggest games as a ClemsonTiger came in the 1993 Peach owl against Kentucky. According to Tigerneet:

“He helped the Tigers to an ACC Championship in 1991 and a nine-win season in 1993, which was capped by a Peach Bowl victory when he had 13 tackles and was named Defensive MVP.”

https://www.tigernet.com/clemson-football/news/former-standout-clemson-lineman-brentson-buckner-joins-jaguars-coaching-staff-39662



After Clemson:

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Buckner with the 50th Pick (2nd Round) of th3 1994 NFL Draft. Buckner played 12 seasons in the NFL with the Steelers (1994-1996), Cincinnati Bengals (1997), SF 49ers (1998-2000), and Carolina Panthers (2001-2005). According to Pro-Football-Reference.com, Buckner registered the following NFL statistics:

Brentson Buckner (1994-2005: Steelers, Bengals, 49ers, and Panthers):
- 430 Tackles (309 Solo, 121 Assisted)
- 31 Sacks
- 2 Interceptions Returned for 37 Yards
- 1 Interception Returned for Touchdown
- 7 Fumble Recoveries Returned for 69 Yards

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BuckBr20.htm

The Tampa Bay Times asked Buckner what it was like to sack a QB:

“Can you describe what it's like to sack a quarterback?

It's the greatest feeling in the world. … Now you have to be careful because it gets addictive, and you can't forget that you got to play the run, too, after that. Because that joy — you know, I've never done drugs — but I imagine that's how drugs might feel. You get a sack and you want to experience it again and again, and it becomes dangerous because you forget about everything else. It's euphoria.”

https://www.tampabay.com/blogs/bucs/2018/08/30/why-brentson-buckner-could-be-the-bucs-most-interesting-man/

Buckner has made several stops as a coach since he retired from playing. According to Wikipedia, Buckner has coached at:
- Northside Christian Academy (Charlotte, NC) (2008-2009)
- Pittsburgh Steelers (2010-2012)
- Arizona Cardinals (2013-2017)
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2018)
- Oakland Raiders (2019)
- Arizona Cardinals (2020-2021)
- Jacksonville Jaguars (2022-Present)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brentson_Buckner

Being a man of many talents, Buckner has also created his own clothing line: “Faith Before Fame.”



Brentson Buckner was inducted into the Clemson Athletics Hall of Fame in 2013.

13 - Jeremiah Trotter Jr Gained 13 Sacks - And 13 Pass Breakups!

LB Jeremiah Trotter Jr. came to Clemson with a strong pedigree. His father, Jeremiah Trotter Sr. had enjoyed a long NFL career as an All-Pro LB primarily for the Philadelphia Eagles. With a lot to live up to, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. excelled in his own right!

He has been a mainstay for Clemson’s defense the last two seasons!


While at Clemson:

According to selected excerpts from Trotter’s bio on ClemsonTigers.com:

“NFL legacy who made his own name as a multi-time All-America linebacker for the Tigers … finished his Clemson career credited with 202 tackles, 29.5 tackles for loss, 13 sacks, 13 pass breakups, three forced fumbles and four interceptions (including two returned for touchdowns) in 1,413 snaps over 39 career games (26 starts) from 2021-23 … became Clemson’s first multi-time All-American at linebacker since Keith Adams in the 1999 and 2000 seasons … exited Clemson as one of only 14 FBS players in the last 20 seasons to record 10+ sacks, 4+ interceptions, 3+ forced fumbles and multiple pick-sixes; he was one of four (UCLA’s Akeem Ayers, Missouri’s Sean Weatherspoon and Nebraska’s Ndamukong Suh) to accomplish the feat in a Power Five conference … became the sixth Butkus Award finalist in program history … started 26 consecutive games at middle linebacker in 2022-23.

2023: Butkus Award finalist, joining Isaiah Simmons (2019), Tre Lamar (2018), Dorian O’Daniel (2017), Keith Adams (2000) and Levon Kirkland (1990) to become the sixth Butkus finalist in school history … Bednarik Award semifinalist … first-team All-America selection by ESPN, Sports Illustrated and Action Network … second-team All-America selection by the AFCA, AP, Phil Steele, Sporting News, USA Today, The Athletic, Fox Sports and PFF … first-team All-ACC selection … also garnered first-team All-ACC status from the AP, PFF, Phil Steele, USA Today and College Football Network

2022: Earned second-team All-America honors from the Associated Press … third-team All-America and second-team All-ACC selection by Pro Football Focus … second-team All-ACC selection by College Football Network and Phil Steele … led team in tackles (92) and tackles for loss (13.5), tied for the team lead in sacks (6.5) and added six pass breakups, a forced fumble and an interception (returned 35 yards for a touchdown) in 678 defensive snaps over 14 games (all starts) … was one of only three Power Five players in 2022 to reach at least 13 tackles for loss, six sacks and return an interception for a touchdown

2021: Credited with 22 tackles (one for loss) and one sack over 13 games including 59 defensive snaps … made Clemson debut on special teams vs. No. 5 Georgia”

https://clemsontigers.com/sports/football/roster/jeremiah-trotter-jr/

The Greenville News also adds:

“Trotter set an ACC Championship Game record with three sacks and added a team-high-tying nine tackles vs. No. 24 North Carolina on Dec. 3, 2022. He recorded a career-high 13 tackles against Florida State on Oct. 15, 2022, helping him earn ACC Linebacker of the Week and Clemson defensive player of the game honors.”

https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/sports/college/clemson/2024/04/27/jeremiah-trotter-jr-nfl-draft-2024-philadelphia-eagles-clemson/73388272007/




After Clemson:

In early March (more than 1 year before the April NFL Draft) Trotter said that it would be a “blessing to play” for the Eagles like his dad had done. According to CBS Sports:

"Great team, great club," Trotter said at the NFL Scouting Combine this week, via Chat Sports. "It would be a blessing to play for them as well. I'm just really waiting for the opportunity to go wherever I go and get happy wherever I land.”

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2024-nfl-draft-clemsons-jeremiah-trotter-jr-says-itd-be-blessing-to-play-for-eagles-like-his-all-pro-dad/

Turns out, this is exactly what happened in the April draft. The Philadelphia Eagles selected Jeremiah Trotter Jr. with the 155th Pick (5th Round) of the 2024 NFL Draft.
