CLEMSON, SC (AP) -- Former Clemson star C.J. Spiller's not done with Death Valley.

Athletic spokesman Tim Bourret says the school will retire Spiller's No. 28 at a ceremony when the Tigers play Maryland at home on Oct. 16. Spiller was the Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year last fall and taken No. 9 overall in the NFL draft by Buffalo.

The Bills have a bye week Oct. 17, making Spiller available for the honor.

Spiller, of Lake Butler, Fla., capped a stellar career last season by finishing as the ACC's all-time leader in all-purpose yardage with 7,588. He also set an NCAA mark with eight kickoff return touchdowns.

He was the only player to score a touchdown in all his games last season and finished sixth in voting for the Heisman Trophy.
