COLUMBIA, S.C. — The annual Pigskin Poets community service reading event is a July tradition in Columbia.
In partnership with the Richland Library, the Gamecock freshman football players dropped by the Drew Wellness Center, where the basketball court was filled with a large group of excited youngsters.
Wide receiver Nyckoles Harbor and linebacker Grayson "Pup" Howard were the first duo to come to the stage to read to the kids.
There was also a chance for autographs and pictures as the players bonded with the youngsters on a Friday afternoon in Columbia.
