Joe Bostic played football for the Tigers from 1975-78. Bostic was part of the era that put Clemson back on the college football map, helping them to three bowl appearances. He was the cornerstone of the offensive line and was a two-time All-American in 1977 and '78. He was selected to the first-team All-ACC both those years and won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy for the state of South Carolina in 1977 and 1978 and for the ACC in 1977.
After his Clemson career, he was drafted by St. Louis and played 10 seasons for the Cardinals. In his first year, he was named to the NFL All-Rookie team.
Bostic was selected to Clemson's Centennial Team in 1996 and was inducted into the Clemson Hall of Fame that same year.
