Rodney Sumter was working bar at Pulse nightclub on the night of the June 12 mass shooting. Though he was shot three times, resulting in two broken arms and a badly injured back, he miraculously survived. Since then, he’s been recuperating at a local hospital, where he recently received a special surprise visit from an old high school classmate: Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow.
Tebow and Sumter played football together at Nease High School in Ponte Vedra, Florida before Sumter moved on to play wide receiver at Jacksonville University and Tebow went on to wow the nation as a quarterback for the University of Florida.
Sumter commemorated the visit by posting a photo of the two old friends on his Instagram along with the caption “My high school quarter back left the Bahamas to come and see me. Tebow has always been an awesome person.”
A day earlier, Sumter posted a photograph of another special visit, this one from Orlando City Soccer Club Captain Kaká, former MLB star Johnny Damon and Gov. Rick Scott. In the photo, Sumter can be seen holding an #OrlandoUnited shirt being sold by local sports teams to raise money for the victims of the Pulse shooting.
