Briningstool uses NIL to help support his hero in fight with arthritis

CLEMSON – Jake Briningstool was born with a built-in best friend, and every time he takes the field, that best friend is never far from his thoughts.

Briningstool is three games into his final season for the Tigers, and there’s no doubt that the NFL awaits when his college career comes to an end. And every weekend since he’s been at Clemson – since he started playing sports – his family has been in the stands supporting him.

Jake, his father Tony, mother Tricia, sister Julia, and brother Mitch are close despite the miles that separate them during the week, and for Jake, family is what it’s all about.
