football. The Wofford uniform was ranked sixth in the nation and was one of only three FCS teams included on the list. Texas, Michigan, Auburn, Yale and Notre Dame made up the top five. WILLIE VARNER A 1952 Wofford graduate, Willie Varner became one of the legendary high school coaches in South Carolina. A native of Spartanburg, Varner was a member of the 1949 Terrier football team that posted an 11-0 record before being upset by Florida State in the 1950 Cigar Bowl. During a long tenure at Woodruff High School, Varner became the second-winningest high school football coach in South Carolina prep history with an all-time record of 383-132-10 in 43 years. His 10 state championships are tied for the most in state history with Summerville’s John McKissick. BEN WOFFORD Born on October 19, 1780, Benjamin Wofford rode a Methodist circuit as a lay exhorter in 1806 and 1807 in western Kentucky, but soon returned to South Carolina in that year to marry Anna Todd. With the death of her father in 1809, he inherited control of the Todd family farm in the southern part of Spartanburg County. Ordained in 1814, he served as an itinerant for only three years. The life of the traveling minister making it difficult to run a farm, he ceased to be a traveling preacher in 1820. A year after the death of Anna Todd Wofford in 1835, he married Maria Barron. His business interests and their diminished enthusiasm for rural life led them to move to the village, at the corner of present-day Magnolia and St. John Streets. There he continued to invest conservatively and live simply until his death on December 2, 1850. Wofford’s will provided $100,000 for the establishment of a college for literary, classical, and scientific education in Spartanburg, to be under the control and management of the state’s Methodist Conference. Within four years of Benjamin Wofford’s death, the trustees he named took the money he bequeathed, secured a charter, bought land, built a college and five houses for professors, hired a faculty, and opened its doors. JEFF ZOLMAN Wofford’s starting quarterback from 2002-04, Zolman compiled a career record of 26-6 as a starter. He led the Terriers to an undefeated conference record and the 2003 Southern Conference football championship. Zolman also guided the Terriers to two postseason wins in 2003 and the national semifinals of the Football Championship Subdivision.
What is a Representative of Athletics Interests (Booster/Donor)? All alumni, friends, and employees of the College are categorized as ‘representatives of athletics interest.’ The NCAA stipulates that once an individual has been identified as a ‘representative’ or “booster/donor” he/she retains this status forever even if the individual is no longer associated with the athletics program. Furthermore the NCAA states that it is possible for a person to be a representative of more than one institution at the same time. A representative of athletics interest may not: • Contact a prospect’s coach, principal or counselor in an effort to evaluate a prospect • Visit the prospect’s institution to pick up film or transcripts • Contact a prospect, his/her parents, legal guardians or spouse on or off campus • Contact a prospect by telephone or letter • Make special arrangements to entertain a recruit • Provide extra benefits to a prospect, student-athlete or the parents, family and/or guardians of the prospects or student-athletes
