CORAL GABLES — TreVonte’ Citizen wasn’t home when Hurricane Laura barreled through his hometown.
Then a junior in high school, the star running back evacuated Lake Charles, Louisiana, and stayed with family in the nearby town of Church Point, Louisiana. When he came back, his home was severely damaged.
“I had a tree that hit my room and went from my room all the way to my living room,” Citizen said.
“I went to my house first, so we were riding around,” he added. “We just see the devastation. You’ve got power lines in the street.
