Jarren Jasper became a Clemson football fan last January.
The youngster attended the Football Bowl Subdivision national championship game along with his father – Navy offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper. They were the guests of former Navy defensive coordinator Buddy Green, whose son is a member of the Clemson football support staff.
Jarren Jasper, who was an eighth grader at the time, donned a Clemson hoodie since he was sitting in the Clemson cheering section for the showdown with top-ranked Alabama. He was thrilled when the Tigers scored 21 points in the fourth quarter to upset the Crimson Tide, 35-31, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
