Jeff Bostic (born Sept. 18, 1958 in Greensboro, North Carolina) is a former American football offensive lineman who played for the Washington Redskins in the National Football League.
A 1980 graduate of Clemson University, Bostic was named All-ACC in 1979 as an offensive lineman for the Tigers. He was also named to Clemson’s All-Centennial Team in 1996, and inducted into the school's Hall of Fame in 1997. In 1999, he was placed in the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame.[1]
He played professionally for the Washington Redskins from 1980-93, helping them win Super Bowls XVII, XXII and XXVI and becoming the only Clemson player to play for three Super Bowl Championship teams. He was also named one of the 70 greatest players in Redskins history.[2]
Bostic was one of "The Hogs," the Redskins' famed offensive line which also included guards Russ Grimm and Mark May, tackles Joe Jacoby and George Starke, and a few other new additions over the years.
