Wow, that choked me up ... all the best to that young man .... and certainly Gods grace to all the men/women who wear, or who have worn the uniform of US Military and their families.
Not at this level, but SMU had a walk-on 3-4 years ago Jesse Andrew (players called him Sarge), I believe he did a couple of tours in Afghanistan. JJ petitioned and tried to get him an additional year of eligibility, but the NCAA said no. . Real nice guy ... wife and young child also. Played DL.
