Clemson football continues to shine both on and off the field, and May’s P.A.T. (Passion, Accountability, Toughness) Man of the Month award goes to none other than Ronan Hanafin — a young man who exemplifies the very best of what it means to be a Tiger.
A rising figure within the program, Hanafin has stood out not only as an athlete but as a model citizen and scholar, earning praise from coaches, teammates, and staff involved in the #PAWJourney, Clemson’s personal and leadership development initiative.
🏅 Who is Ronan Hanafin?
Hanafin, a versatile athlete known for his grit, work ethic, and humility, joined the Tigers with high expectations and has done nothing but exceed them — both on the field and in the classroom. Whether it’s early-morning lifts, film study, community service, or academic excellence, Ronan has embraced Clemson’s standard of “Best is the Standard.”
🐅 The PAW Journey Connection
The #PAWJourney program, founded by Head Coach Dabo Swinney and led by Director of Football Development Jeff Davis, focuses on developing Clemson athletes into complete men — leaders, fathers, husbands, and professionals. The P.A.T. Man of the Month award recognizes Tigers who demonstrate exceptional Passion, Accountability, and Toughness in all aspects of their life.
👏 Why It Matters
