Spartan Profile: Lourawls 'Tum Tum' Nairn Jr.

With headphones in and a smile on his face, he has one goal on his mind – to put one on yours.

“That’s why I walk around campus singing, because people are always smiling,” said Nairn, who is in the midst of his second season at Michigan State. “One goal I have away from basketball is to try and make somebody smile every day. That may be the only time that person is smiling that day. They may be going through some problems at home or a bad day at school. That’s how I approach life.”

It’s Nairn’s genuine selflessness that has helped him become a captain on a talented and deep Michigan State team that has its sights set on the Final Four.
