Campbell University

One of the greatest basketball players in Fighting Camel history, Clarence Grier was inducted into the Campbell Sports Hall of Fame in October 2001.
 
The 6-foot-7 native of Greensboro finished his career with more than 30 school records, including most points scored in a season (739) during his senior campaign in 1987.
 
As a senior in 1986-87, Grier led the Big South Conference and ranked 12th nationally in scoring with a 24.6 points per game average.  He earned All-Big South Conference honors for the second-straight year and was chosen as the Big South Player of the Year.  He set a school mark by scoring in double figures in 39-straight games over his final two seasons.
 
During his senior campaign, Grier scored 39 points vs. Virginia Wesleyan, a mark that stood as the highest scoring tally by a Fighting Camel player at the NCAA Division I level for three decades.  That year also saw Grier set school Division I marks for scoring average, field goals and free throws made and attempted, and a host of other marks as the Camels advanced to the Big South title game where they fell to Baptist 64-63.
 
Following his collegiate career, Grier was selected in the seventh round of the 1987 National Basketball Association draft by the Houston Rockets.  He played with the Quad City Thunder of the Continental Basketball Association.
 
Grier earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1987 and is now a certified public accountant.  He now serves as County Manager for Cumberland County, N.C.
