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,” 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,（毒瘾） and they are not in touch with their dad.（父亲也不知上哪去了） Ray Ray didn’t want to see his brother go into foster care (收养), where they both have 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 rooting for （全力支持）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 （全美大体协）allowed Clemson to set up a trust fund 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.（但兄弟情谊用钱是买不到的） Ray Ray says he hopes to instill (灌输) in Fahmarr qualities of “strength and intelligence.” He says having his brother around is “a great thing, knowing he will grow up right.”用心 爱心 专心1
