A good story about redshirt sophomore Austin Shepherd who plays back up right tackle and the good work he is doing for young kids with cancer.
From a potentially-deadly disease he can’t remember, to an experience he’ll never forget, Miles Benton’s been through a lot in his first decade of life.
Year ten is going better than year two, when doctors diagnosed him with cancer in his leg.
Last month Miles went to a college football stadium for the first time and saw his favorite team, the Alabama Crimson Tide, defeat their bitter rivals Auburn, and got to go in the locker room and spend time with the players after the game.
“It was pretty awesome, first Iron Bowl, so yeah, it was cool,” the 10-year-old said.
He was the guest of Austin Shepherd, whom he met for the first time after the game.
You likely haven’t heard of Austin Shepherd, unless you’re one of the dozens of children he’s visited at Children’s Hospital in Birmingham over the past year, or a die-hard Tide fan.
Shepherd is redshirt sophomore who plays right tackle on the Alabama football team.
