Thank you to ESPN’s Matt Fortuna for highlighting this touching gesture by Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney:

Swinney met with Welles Crowther’s parents before the game to present them with a signed Clemson helmet.
Fortuna reported that Swinney had his team watch the full 15 minute “Man in the Red Bandana” video, the famous ESPN spotlight that brought international acclaim to Crowther’s heroism on September 11.
