Richard Yeargin: Former teammate asks for $1 entry fee into Death Valley

Boston College defensive end Richard Yeargin looked at his phone earlier this week and there was a Cash App request for $1 from former teammate and current Clemson Tiger defensive tackle Nyles Pinckney. The $1 was Yeargin’s entry fee into Death Valley for Saturday night’s Homecoming game.

Yeargin paid the dollar with a smile and told TigerNet that he can’t wait to come back to Clemson and see Death Valley and his former teammates and coaches, even if it is in a different uniform.

A car wreck in June of 2017 fractured the C5 and C7 vertebrae in his neck, and he spent much of the next two years trying to not only live a normal life but feel healthy enough to return to football.
