Tulane Football team players collaborated with a Willow School 3rd grade P.E. class last week. Deshaun Batiste - defensive line, Jack Tchienchou - safety, and DK McGruder - cornerback, and their coach, Derick Bugg, Director of Player Development, led some fun football drills and played a game of Leprechaun tag! The best part was when the players shared the importance of a team that supports each other, and what actions create that teamwork. #tulane #tulaneathletics #smartsandarts #nolaps
