TO CONGRATULATE FORMER CLEMSON UNIVERSITY CENTER DALTON FREEMAN OF PELION ON HIS SELECTION AS A MEMBER OF THE CAPITAL ONE ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICA TEAM.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that former Clemson University center Dalton Freeman of Pelion has been named to the second-team Capital One Academic All-America Team, which is selected by CoSIDA, the College Sports Information Directors of America; and
Whereas, the first Clemson football player to make one of the two academic All-America teams since 2001, Dalton Freeman was also named to the All-ACC Academic Football Team, making it the fourth consecutive year he has received the honor. In addition, the award makes him Clemson's first four-time All-ACC academic pick and only the thirteenth four-time All-ACC Academic Football Team honoree in history; and
Whereas, Dalton Freeman, a first-team All-America selection by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), helped lead the Tigers to school and ACC records in points scored (533) while finishing sixth nationally in scoring offense and ninth nationally in total offense; and
Whereas, his first-team AFCA All-America selection combined with his academic All-America award makes Dalton Freeman the fourth football player in Clemson history to be named an All-American on the field and in the classroom in the same year; and
Whereas, he was also named one of six finalists for the 2012 Rimington Award, the honor presented each year to the top center in college football. It was the second consecutive year he was named a finalist, and he is the second two-time Rimington Award finalist in Clemson football history; and
Whereas, appreciative of his consistent striving for excellence, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in saluting Dalton Freeman on receiving this coveted honor, selection as a member of the Capital One Academic All-America Team. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate former Clemson University center Dalton Freeman of Pelion on his selection as a member of the Capital One Academic All-America Team.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Dalton Freeman.
