WATCH: ACCN feature on Clemson RB overcoming family tragedy on path to Tigers |
ESPN reporter Jen Lada and the ACC Network featured the heartbreaking life story for
Domonique Thomas and his road to Clemson.
Description of the story: Before arriving at Clemson, Domonique Thomas played college football at Union College. During this time, he lost his mom and grandparents to a tornado that ripped through his hometown of Ohatchee, Alabama. Before they died, Thomas and his family had talked about him moving to a Div. I football program – and their preference was Clemson. Now two years later, Jen Lada reports on how Thomas has gone from a walk-on to a scholarship player for the Tigers, and how he competes – in the weight room, on the practice field, and in the Tigers’ Memorial Stadium – in the memory of the three loved ones he lost. Watch the story below: Domonique Thomas has gone from walk-on to a scholarship RB. @JenLada shares his story on how he continues to push himself to honor those he's lost 🧡 @ClemsonFB pic.twitter.com/OZXzaqwwHl
