Clemson's Lannden Zanders Unhurt After Family Home Burns in Fire Pit Accident

Clemson defensive back Lannden Zanders is unhurt after a fire burned his family home in Kings Mountain, North Carolina.

Per Todd Shanesy of the Greenville News, the house caught fire after Zanders built a fire pit in the backyard and later went to bed.

Lannden's dad, Lindell Zanders, told Shanesy about the experience of getting a phone call from his son around 4:25 a.m. on Sunday morning.

"Lannden was crying hysterically," Lindell said. "He was like, 'Daddy, the house is on fire. The house is burning down.' ... He said he went in the house and went to bed.
