Listen "Richard Yeargin"
Episode Synopsis
Former Clemson football player Richard Yeargin has found his calling after years of soul-searching and trying to reconcile life without football.
Yeargin was involved in a horrible car accident in Greenville in 2017, just a few months after he and the Tigers were atop the mountain in Tampa celebrating Clemson's first national title since 1981.
He played for Boston College in 2019 and was planning for the NFL in March of 2020 when the pandemic hit.
He now lives in the Clemson area with his wife and two children. Last summer he began as a lecturer at the university, and he recently authored a book about his life entitled: The Man is Greater than the Brand: Shedding Past Brokenness to Live as Kings and Queens.
He said Dabo Swinney connected him with famous author Jon Gordon for advice on the book, and he said Gordon coined the title for the book.
