Title: Dabo Swinney offers scholarship to son of former teammate battling ALS Post by: bama57 on January 25, 2016, 02:22:36 PM Quote When Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney offered a scholarship to safety Nolan Turner last week, the move meant much more to everyone involved than just football, reports Rachel Baribeau of Gridiron Now. http://www.si.com/college-football/2016/01/25/clemson-tigers-dabo-swinney-nolan-turner-scholarship?ref=yfpThe offer came completely out of the blue for Turner, an Alabama native and the son of Kevin Turner, a former teammate of Swinney who is battling ALS. Before offering the scholarship to the younger Turner in person, Swinney visited Kevin, who uses a ventilator and feeding tube.

Yet another example of just how classy Dabo is.

Yet another example of just how classy Dabo is. Yep, Dabo is a stand up dude. Bama could have offered him a Bryant scholly though. Sure Turner didn't play for Bryant. Did they open that up to children of all former players? Also, the Bryant Scholarship is a dollar amount that doesn't cover full tuition anymore, I don't believe. Certainly not room and board like he'd get on a football scholly. |
