Former South Carolina football players are leading the charge to rename a popular building on the Columbia campus.
Former Gamecock stars Alshon Jeffery, DJ Swearinger, Jadeveon Clowney, Marcus Lattimore, Mike Davis, and Jonathan Joseph have been active on social media recently as they’ve expressed their desire to rename the popular Storm Thurmond Wellness and Fitness Center on the South Carolina campus. This comes amid the nation’s push for racial equality and the fight against social injustice.
The building, which opened in 2003, provides students and faculty a place to improve their health and well-being while attending the university.
