Listen "Tremayne Anchrum"
Episode Synopsis
What does it do to the mind of an 18-year-old college athlete to have hundreds of thousands of dollars in his bank account?
"I pray for them all the time," Tremayne Anchrum said. "Because I had a great upbringing. I had great parents. I had a great support system. And you know what? I still did a lot of stupid things. So I can't really imagine people with no support system and who have bad influences, listening to everyone who DM's them. They might not have the best decision-making process. I definitely feel for them, because it's hard being young in this time period. And I don't think people give enough grace when they see people mess up. You're a product of your environment, and a lot of people don't come up in the best environment. So now you add money to that mix, and things might not be perfect."
The collegiate model was totally different when Anchrum was an offensive lineman for Clemson from 2016 to 2019. Since then he has been in the NFL and seen what it's like behind the scenes at the professional level.
Anchrum, currently a free agent, is back in Clemson this summer training at the Tigers' football facilities.
He joined The Dubcast to talk about life after football, what to make of the current state of the college game, and his enduring love for Dabo Swinney.
