You didn’t just play for Clemson Rugby - you became part of its story.
On behalf of everyone connected to Clemson Rugby - thank you. You're a bunch of legends that repped the program with pride.
As someone from New Zealand, one word that has always stayed with me is 'Whakapapa' (fah-kah-pah-pah). Whakapapa is about connection.
It’s about understanding that we are all part of something bigger than ourselves. A lineage. A family. A shared story that stretches before us and continues long after us.
That’s what Clemson Rugby is.
Every player who has worn this jersey has added something to it.
Every generation leaves its mark. And with that comes a responsibility: leave the jersey in a better place than you found it.
This graduating class has done exactly that. You’ve helped strengthen the culture of this program. You’ve represented Clemson with pride. You’ve built relationships that will last well beyond rugby. And now, you become the newest members of our Clemson Rugby Alumni Network.
That connection does not end after your final match.
You will always have a place here.
We hope you stay connected, continue supporting the program, and continue backing the next generation of players coming through.
Your experiences, lessons, and leadership matter more than you probably realize.
Most importantly, congratulations. We’re proud of what you’ve accomplished both on and off the field, and we’re excited to see where life takes you next.
Once a Tiger, always a Tiger.
Cheers lads!
