I imagine that it came as a very pleasant surpirse that there was someone on the Tiger football team who could communicate with him. So happy Tucker could make the day special for this young man.

I love what he said, "The only disability in life is a bad attitude." What an insightful comment from this young man. It just reinforces my understanding of the type of athletes we recruit at Clemson.

That is a Daboism, he says that a lot


Dec 30, 2016, 11:15 AM

and he is shaping the character of the young men he coaches for 4 years. Dabo is a better life coach than he is a football coach, and that is saying a lot.

But we still don't know

what he dreams about when he's asleep.

That's a great story, but the thing that


Dec 30, 2016, 8:27 AM

Strikes me most is the number of Dabo quotes Tucker used. "Everything happens for a reason", "The only disability is a bad attitude", etc.

It's not coachspeak. Coach Swinney is building high character men who also happen to be very good football players.

Tucker Israel is a clemson man. Hats off to you Tucker... good stock is hard to find these days.

And who said Tucker may not cut it at QB..


Dec 30, 2016, 9:38 AM

When in effect he's way more talented than all the others in more important ways in Life!

How awesome would it be if


Dec 30, 2016, 10:18 AM

the whole football team knew sign language....you could use it in the huddle when we are the visiting team at loud stadiums & use it to call audibles at loud stadiums. Tucker - great story & what a wonderful young man!

Great human interest story.
Here's hoping Tucker has an excellent Spring practice and is given a fair/equal chance at the qb job opening.

Great job by Tucker! He is now one of my favorite Tigers! Even if Obama isn't a fan of Israel, I am!
