Got to spend a great morning with my friend Ben Paepcke. So impressed with his attitude, his fight, and his toughness. Truly courageous. Can’t wait for him to be an honorary captain for us this upcoming season. Please keep Ben and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

The emotion from our leader in this moment will forever be imbedded in my memory. The turn to the sideline w/ 5 seconds left, the water cooler bath w/ the staff & fist pump, the hug & fist pump to the crowd. The 1st time in 18 years, he brought it back 2 Homewood. Thank u, Coach.
