Charlie Tutan Waters (born September 10, 1948) is a former American football player, a defensive back in the National Football League for twelve seasons, all with the Dallas Cowboys. He played college football at Clemson University.
Born in Miami, Florida, Waters' family moved to South Carolina where he attended North Augusta High School, starring as a football and baseball athlete.
He was a split end early in his football career before being converted to a quarterback. He was selected to play in the 1965 Shrine Bowl and graduated in 1966.
Waters signed a football scholarship at Clemson University and by the spring of 1968 as a junior, he was competing with Billy Ammons for the starting quarterback job. When Ammons hurt his knee in spring practice, Waters won the position. The defending Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) champions started the season 0-3-1. When Ammons’ knee healed, he took over the starting job and Waters moved to split end for the remaining 15 games of his college career. As a senior, he caught 44 passes for 738 yards, and even though his season was cut short with a shoulder separation, his record stood until Jerry Butler broke it in 1977.
A three-year letterman, Waters was an All-ACC selection in 1969 at wide receiver as a senior. During his Clemson career, he caught 68 passes for 1,196 yards and 17.1 yards per catch, to go along with four touchdown receptions. He still ranks eighth all-time for yards per reception and eighteenth all-time in receiving yards.
