Today, I had the pleasure of visiting the Clemson campus with a large group of students with special needs from Pendleton HS. We walked through Tiger Walk and Peter was eating lunch near the Tiger statue. I approached him to say hey, but said I didn't want to interrupt his lunch. He could not have been more welcoming to the whole group. He introduced himself to students as Peter, took pictures with kids, and helped one young man with getting up and down from a few stairs.
One student asked who he was playing this weekend. Another boisterous student said he had 20 bucks on Miami. Without missing a beat, Peter replied that he was losing that 20.
Love so much that our players "get it". They are much more than athletes. They deserve our support.
