USC’s Wounded Warrior Captain

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) — USC’s game with Auburn will be a little more than just about football Saturday. The Gamecocks will wear special uniforms to help raise money for Under Armour’s Wounded Warrior Project. Carolina’s uniforms will be auctioned off Monday through the USC website–gamecocksonline.com. 100% of the proceeds will go to the Wounded Warrior Project. Columbia native Steven Diaz will be one of USC’s honorary captains for the Auburn game. In 2005, the A.C. Flora high school grad was injured while serving in Iraq as a Marine. Diaz spent the next year and eight months recovering at a naval hospital in Bethesda, MD. Diaz is now a business student at USC. He hopes to help other veterans diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder.
