Obed Ariri was a two-sport athlete on the football and soccer teams. He shined as a kicker, as he set or tied nine NCAA records for field goal kicking and scoring while at Clemson. When he graduated, he was the NCAA's all-time leader in career field goals made with 63. He also set seven other ACC and eight Clemson records. Until 1994, he was the career leader in kick-scoring points for Clemson and the ACC. As a soccer player, he once scored a game-winning goal against South Carolina only eight days after kicking three field goals to defeat Notre Dame in football.
Ariri was a seventh-round draft pick for the Baltimore Colts in 1981. He played for Tampa Bay in 1984. He was inducted into the Clemson Hall of Fame in 1998.
