An Alabama teen with Down Syndrome took an NFL player to her prom at Lawrence County High School and had the time of her life.
Don Jones, 27, is a defensive lineman with the San Francisco 49ers. He graduated from Hazelwood High School in Town Creek, Alabama, and returned to his home state just to escort 18-year-old Lindsey Preston to her prom.
“Lindsey always stayed in contact with me and the family,” he told WBRC-TV. “Her mother asked me to go to the prom with her last year so I told her I would be more than glad.”
