\"Clint<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s Green and Gold Game<\/a> was the first chance most fans got to see what Baylor football will look like under Matt Rhule. But the highlight of the day\u00a0wasn’t the new coach, the new-look team, or even the touchdown scored by former men’s basketball standout Ish Wainwright<\/a>; instead, it was a special play\u00a0by\u00a0longtime staffer Clint Lewis, who has Down Syndrome, that warmed hearts and made Clint a nationwide star.<\/p>\n

Even if you don\u2019t know Clint\u2019s name, you\u2019ve likely seen him at games. He\u2019s a bona fide Baylor football all-star, having served the team for more than two decades. Clint doesn\u2019t let his genetic disorder\u00a0slow him one bit; in addition to\u00a0working with the equipment staff, he has often led the team out of the tunnel and onto the field<\/a> before games. And if that\u2019s not enough, his sideline dance routines after a big Baylor play make the moment that much sweeter.<\/p>\n
