183 - Tavien Feaster Gained 183 Receiving Yards

In 2015, Tavien Feaster was a five star recruit and the #1 rated player in South Carolina. Perhaps there were other reasons, he chose Clemson over the Gamechickens, but his mom, Latasha Mcelrath, pointed to one particular difference between the two schools: the class exhibited by the two head coaches.
According to Tigernet:
“It goes back to 2010 when I worked the Shrine Bowl banquet. I really didn't think a lot about it at the time because I didn't know a lot about football,” Mcelrath told TigerNet. “I had little kids and I didn't have time for football. A lot of my co-workers knew about the sport and knew about the head coaches, I didn't know much. So they gave me the head table to work that night. I met Coach Spurrier, and I thought it was interesting that people were lining up for his autograph and asking him to sign things. I just didn't know who he was. I was pouring his tea and giving him his rolls, and I said, 'Oh, so you're a football coach?' He said, 'Yes ma'am I am.' And I said, 'I think my son is going to play football for you one day.' And he was like, 'Uh-huh. That is every young boy's dream, to play college football.' And I was like, ok, wow. So I thought he was really kind of rude.”
Undeterred, Mcelrath kept doing her job and moved on to the next person.
“I went on to the next person, which was Coach Swinney,” she said. “Everybody was telling me that he was the new coach at Clemson and how he was such a nice guy, and he was right from the moment I met him. I asked him if he liked sweet tea, and then I asked him how he was doing. He told me he was doing well. And then he gave me a pat on the back. And then I told him, 'My son is in the seventh grade and he is pretty good in football. He is going to play football for you one day.' Coach Swinney said, 'Bring him on! We would love to have him.' And I said, ok, he is going to play football for you. And now he is.
The difference between the two coaches – and how they treated a server at a banquet – was stark.
To me, Coach Swinney was a lot friendlier and he was nicer to me. And he actually entertained the idea about my son playing football for him,” Mcelrath said. “And Coach Spurrier just kind of brushed me off like Tavien wouldn't be good enough. It kind of made me upset.”
According to Mcelrath, Swinney apparently didn’t forget the encounter.
“On my first visit to Clemson and the campus, Coach Swinney actually told Tavien as a joke that your momma told me you were coming,” she said. “We all laughed about that. Tavien asked me on the way home if Coach Swinney remembered that. I told him I didn't know, but he said he did.”

The difference in class seemed stark!
Feaster played well for Clemson, but he left after his junior season because he was still a backup behind Travis Etienne. According to ClemsonTigers.com:
1,330 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns on 222 carries and 23 receptions for 183 yards and one touchdown in 674 snaps over 41 career games (11 starts) … ranked second in Clemson history in career yards per carry (5.99) behind only teammate Travis Etienne as of the conclusion of the 2018 season.
https://clemsontigers.com/sports/football/roster/tavien-feaster/
Strong stats – He just wasn’t going to beat out Etienne.
Before the 2019 season, Feaster transferred to the Chickens. This was about the time that the SEC needed to change its motto as follows.
SEC motto needed to change
From - Current Slogan:
SEC: It Just Means More
To - Better Slogan:
SEC: Where Clemson Backups Go to Start
Just Consider:
- Tavien Feaster (South Carolina)
- Kaleb Chalmers (South Carolina)
- Mike Jones (LSU)
- Kelly Bryant (Arkansas)
(The list goes on – and this list did not include dismissed Derion Kendrick.)
After leaving the Gamechickens, Feaster has played in the USFL and in the Canadien League. He has also spent time primarily on practice squads with Jacksonville, Detoit, NY Giants, and Arizona in the NFL.

Thanks for sharing. Feaster would have been a starter if not for playing during the time of all-world RB, Etienne.

South Carolina Highway 183 is a 53.71 mile state highway that runs from US 76/US 123 in Westminster, goes through Walhalla, crosses Lake Keowee, passes the nuclear plant, goes through Pickens, and ends at US 123 in Greenville. I lived in some apartments on the Cedar Lane Road section of SC 183 near Berea in 1988.
colberttiger mentioned that Beamer wanted to hire Limestone's coach. I know little about Limestone, so I got out the encyclopedia (interesting that World Book still publishes). Limestone University is a private Christian university in Gaffney with an enrollment of about 1800. It was established as Limestone College in 1845 as the first women's college in South Carolina but became coed in the 1960s and became Limestone University in 2020. The limestone springs and quarry and 10 buildings on campus are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The sports teams, the Saints, compete in the South Atlantic Conference. Notable alumni include Alphonza Gadsen, Bob Peeler, and Gaylord Perry.

For some reason, every time I read anything about Limestone, I think of my HS typing teacher, "Ma" Ashley. She was a graduate.
