'Oh wait, that's me': Travis Etienne's reluctant embrace of stardom at Clemson

CLEMSON, S.C. -- Jim Segura was working the welcome tent at the annual Jennings High School charity softball tournament when he looked up to find Travis Etienne in front of him.

Etienne is the most accomplished player in Jennings High football history, a superstar in the little Louisiana town about 90 miles west from Baton Rouge. Segura, a Jennings lifer and longtime supporter of the high school football team, volunteers at the event every July, a series of charity games featuring alumni from the football team.

Etienne's mere appearance turned the softball game into spectacle.
