Theo Pinson honors late cousin at announcement press conference

Posted May 22, 2013
Late Wednesday morning as Theo Pinson was putting the finishing touches on his outfit, he learned another reason why he'd picked the perfect day to let the country know where he planned to play in college. "I was doing it because it was the last day of school and I wanted all my classmates there," said Pinson, a junior who ended up picking North Carolina over Indiana. "But then I found out it was Josh's birthday. I can't tell you how happy that made me feel. I knew that it would be another great way that I could honor him." (USA Today)
