A Spring Valley graduate, Boulware was an All-American at Florida State where he won a national champion in 1993 and was named the National Defensive Player of the Year in 1996. He was drafted with the fourth overall selection in the 1997 NFL Draft by Baltimore and that season he was named the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year. Four years later, he was part of the Ravens' win in Super Bowl XXXV which was the highlight of his nine-year NFL career.
Harper is a graduate of Orangeburg-Wilkinson High School and went on to star at South Carolina State where he was named a First Team All-MEAC selection and an Associated Press Division II All-American. He was taken in the 11th round by the Seattle Seahawks in the 1988 NFL Draft. Harper would play six seasons with the Seahawks, five with the Chargers, and one with the Detroit Lions. He was the starting cornerback for the Chargers in Super Bowl XXIX and was named to the MEAC Hall of Fame for their Class of 2019.
Other inductees into the South Carolina Football Hall of Fame include former Gamecock defensive back Rick Sanford who was an All-American for the Gamecocks and in 1979, he was drafted in the first round by the New England Patriots with the 25th overall selection.

The late Chester McGlockton was a standout at Clemson on the defensive line from 1989 to 1991. He was the 16th overall selection by the LA/Oakland Raiders in 1992.
