Tagged: Alums, Tremayne Stephens
One of the most memorable plays of my youth, in the 1994 regular season finale at Virginia (Thanksgiving Friday as I recall) his freshman year he broke loose a 95-yard TD run to put us ahead…and into the Peach Bowl.
I was at that game at UVA but wasn’t sitting in the visitors section, I think I was the only person on my half of the stadium standing up going nuts during that run!
Wow…I had actually forgotten about that. Damn, I am getting old.
Tremayne was very supportive of coming to some events and reaching out When I was the NC State Club Young Alumni President in Raleigh in the mid 1990s. Couldn’t have been a better guy.
If my memory serves, Tremayne Stephens was from Greenville, SC, and Clemson wanted him badly, but State got him to sign. Always one of the nicest and most approachable athletes from my time on campus (him and Danny Strong were both great with regular people!). Great for him and for State alums!
He always seemed to play under the radar on very bad teams with inept offenses (3-8 in both ’95 and ’96), but he did rush for about 1,200 yds his senior year in ’97.
