Simms, Trapp come to Brownell’s aid and explain what he means to them
GREENVILLE, S.C. — For Clemson’s Aamir Simms and Clyde Trapp, Thursday was one of the more special days of their life.
Why?
They both graduated from Clemson University during commencement ceremonies at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville.
“This is bigger than anything. This is bigger than any draft pick. This is bigger than any game-winner,” Simms said. “Getting a degree from college is the greatest thing I have ever done.”
For Trapp, it was definitely a blessing to walk across the stage and get his degree.
“I was the first in my family to graduate (from college),” he said. “It is definitely a huge milestone for me and my family, and I am proud I was able to do it at Clemson.”
