Former Clemson wide receiver Jerry Butler and one-time USC quarterback Todd Ellis were among the five enshrined in the South Carolina Football Hall Of Fame Class of 2025 Thursday night in Greenville.

Butler made what’s referred to by Clemson fans as “The Catch” in the 1977 Clemson/Carolina game and the Ware Shoals native then went on to play in the NFL for several seasons with the Buffalo Bills.

Ellis was a four-year starter for South Carolina in the late ’80s, throwing for nearly 10,000 yards.

Former longtime NFL wide receiver A.J. Green, a Summerville native who played collegiately at Georgia, his fellow Charleston area native Dexter Coakley, an Appalachian State alum who played for nearly a decade with the Cowboys, and Union native and former Green Bay Packer Bob Jeter were also inducted.

Clemson linebacker Sammy Brown, who had 107 tackles in his sophomore season, was awarded the Blanchard-Rogers Trophy, which the Hall gives to the Palmetto State’s top college player.

Emily Beamer, wife of USC head football coach Shane Beamer, received a humanitarian award from the Hall as well.
