Was reading an article on Dwayne Allen and came across


Aug 8, 2014, 3:25 PM

this story in the comments section:
"I hate the Colt’s but I’m pulling for this guy. My company sponsored a walkathon a couple months ago and he made an appearance. No camera crews, no reporters, nothing to advertise his efforts. Just showed up in a t-shirt and some sweats and played catch with the kids. My son asked him for an autograph and he gladly signed it. A couple of hours later my son had worked up the courage to ask him for football advice. He said, “Mr. Allen, what does it take to succeed in football”. Dwayne Allen scooped my son up in his arms(he’s 6), and smiled and said, “Well Victour(he remembered his name 2 hours later despite being around dozens of kids), you have to start with the classroom. The school class room. You have to get the best grades. You have to work hard there. You have to do all of your homework, every day. You have to eat healthy and take care of your body. You have to make good choices in life and do good things. You do that, and the football part will take care of itself”

I'm incredibly proud to have as many high character guys representing this University on and off the field...GO TIGERS!
