Jessica Barr came to Clemson in 1992 and played only two seasons under Coach Jim Davis. However, she wasted no time making a name for herself. In 1993-94, Barr became only the third player in Clemson history to lead the team in scoring, rebounding, and field goal percentage in a single season. She was also named a Kodak All-American and a Basketball-America All-American in her second and final year as a Lady Tiger.
Barr also became the first Clemson women's basketball player to win the ACC Player of the Year award for her outstanding play during the 1993-94 season. That year she led the ACC with 19.8 points per game and 8.5 rebounds per game. She was named to the first-team All-ACC, ACC All-Tournament team, Academic All-ACC team, and ACC Academic Honor Roll.
Her awards went well beyond the NCAA and the ACC after being named the state of South Carolina's Female Amateur Athlete of the Year in 1993-94. She was inducted into the Clemson Hall of Fame in 2000 and selected to the ACC 50-Year Anniversary Team in 2003.
