Very well known. Do not know if they still do it or not but when the Peach Bowl first got started they used to give a Clint Castleberry award each year for the most outstanding offensive player of the game. The official program usually had a full article on Castelberry.

Castleberry was famous for being near unstoppable running the ball. He was also tremendous on defense too. That gets overlooked a bit.
