Like other student athletes, Ray Ray McElrathbey deals with schoolwork, practice and games. But after a long day of studying and working out on the football field, the Clemson University player can’t relax with friends. Ray Ray has to make sure his 11-year-old brother, Fahmarr, gets a good dinner, does his homework and goes to bed.

       Since taking responsibility for Fahmarr this August, “I’ve aged dramatically(戏剧性地), ” said Ray Ray. “I can’t be running around at all hours, making 19-year-old decisions. ” Ray Ray has temporary custody(监护权)of Fahmarr. Their mother struggles with drug addiction(上瘾), and they are not in touch with their dad.

       Ray Ray didn’t want to see his brother go into foster (收养)care, where they both had spent time. The brothers now live together in an apartment near the campus in Clemson, South Carolina.

       Clemson Tigers fans aren’t the only people supporting Ray Ray. Sports Illustrated, ESPN and ABC news have featured the story. The brothers have received praise and many offers of help. But Ray Ray attends the university on a scholarship. Under the rules, he can’t accept money or gifts. Coaches’family members can’t even give Fahmarr a ride home from school.

       This changed a few weeks ago, when the National Collegiate Athletic Association allowed Clemson to set up a trust fund(基金) for Fahmarr. It will help provide for his basic needs, including food and clothing. But the brothers can give each other something that all the money in the world can’t buy. Ray Ray says he hopes to instill(灌输) qualities of “strength and intelligence”in Fahmarr. He says having his brother around is “a great thing, knowing he will grow up right. ”
