WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - It was an emotional moment at Friday's football practice at the College of William & Mary.
Surrounded by his cheering teammates, Team Captain Mark Williamson met the man whose life he helped save through a bone marrow transplant.
Rusty Plemons, who is from Ohio, received a bone marrow donation from Williamson in 2016 thanks to the Be The Match program.
The two hadn't met in person until Friday.
