Having played for a couple of years, his interests lied more with shooting hoops and less about knocking around opposing quarterbacks. But, sometimes, purpose arises when you least expect it â burning for reasons well beyond yourself. He and his brother, Daron, enjoyed slinging around the pigskin, a bond forming over a sport that has put Tarron â one of the stars of a No. 11-ranked Coastal Carolina team that faces Liberty in the Cure Bowl on Saturday night â on the brink of a potential future in the NFL.
