Clay Shiver grew up in the shadows of Seminole Territory. In his back yard he was usually the quarterback for the fantasy game. He never dreamed of becoming an All-American hero at center but that's
just what he did. In 1993, Clay perfected the shotgun snap for a quarterback named Charlie Ward. He gave up just 1/2 a sack over 700 snaps to help lead the team to its first National Championship trophy. By the 1995 campaign, Clay had become one of the top linemen in the country. He was a dominating blocker with quickness to pass block in FSU's intricate offensive system. Shiver was named to four All-American teams as a junior in 1994 including first-team honors from the Football Writers Association and Scipps Howard. As a senior he was an NCAA Consensus All-American, named on five additional lists including American Football Coaches Association (first-team), Football Writers Association (first), AP (second), Football News (second) and UPI (second). He was a three-time All-ACC selection and received numerous ACC Player of the Week honors as well. In his junior and senior years, Clay was awarded the prestigious Jacobs Trophy presented annually to the best blocker in the Atlantic Coast Conference. In 1996, Clay was the first Seminole selected to the NFL draft, 67th overall pick by the Dallas Cowboys. Clay played in 14 games for Dallas his first season, started in all 16 games in '97 and nine of 13 games in the '98 campaign. After three seasons with Dallas he became a free agent, signed in '99 with Denver and Carolina before having to give up the game with a shoulder injury.
