Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Clemson University football team on their 2017 national championship. In a nail-biting rematch of the 2016 national championship game between the Clemson Tigers and the Alabama Crimson Tide, the Tigers came back with something to prove--and boy did they, with their 35-31 win. While every member of the team played their hearts out, I would like to recognize a very special player who hails from the Seventh District of South Carolina, wide receiver Hunter Renfrow. A native of Horry County and graduate of Socastee High School, Mr. Renfrow has had an outstanding season, catching 44 passes, including 6 touchdowns, for a total of 495 yards this season. He joined the Tigers as a walk-on, earned a scholarship, and last week, with 1 second left, caught the game-winning touchdown in the championship game. I would also like to extend special congratulations to two of Clemson's finest alumni: my wife, Wrenzie, and my friend, Congressman Jeff Duncan. I know few people who take more pride in their alma mater and enjoyed this win as much as they did. This national title is a win for all of the great State of South Carolina. In fact, two national titles currently reside in South Carolina: the NCAA football championship in Clemson and the NCAA College World Series at Coastal Carolina University. Congratulations Clemson, and go Tigers. ____________________
