The only thing bigger than freshman running back Ty Lucas’ face Saturday night was the hug he gave his camo-clad father, who returned home early after nine months in Afghanistan to surprise his son before Clemson’s Military Appreciation Day game.
Capt. Cody Lucas, signal advisor for the 1st Security Forces Assistance Bridge in the U.S. Army, returned home Thursday night after nine months in Afghanistan.
Video posted to the Clemson football Twitter page showed Lucas, wearing his uniform, and standing inside the tunnel that leads to the team locker room in the stadium before Saturday night’s game against Duke, which honored military service members.
