When Clemson safety Nolan Turner steps on the football field, he is playing for more than just a victory. He is playing for his father, Kevin Nolan, who passed away when Nolan was still in high school back in March of 2016.
Nolan proudly puts on his No. 24 jersey, the same number his father wore when he played at Alabama and was a teammate of Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney.
“Every time I put that No. 24 on, I represent him,” Nolan said. “I think about him all the time, and he’s always there with me.
