  When you stand 6-foot-5 and weigh 320 pounds with thick arms and a muscle-bound chest, it may be difficult to look welcoming. But Carter Warren and four of his similarly sized buddies on Pitt's offensive line pulled it off Tuesday. They greeted, mingled with and even played a game of "Connect 4" (Jake Kradel's specialty) and shot bumper pool (Gabe Houy's area of expertise) with several young people at the Boys and Girls Club North Area Clubhouse in Millvale. It was part of an event entitled "Carter's Creations Initiative." It was hosted by Carter, who is entering his fourth season as Pitt's starting left offensive tackle. As an example of solidarity and to give the kids a thrill, he brought along Pitt's other starting linemen: Marcus Minor, Owen Drexel, Kradel and Houy, who he described as "my best friends."

What's behind Carter's efforts? Perhaps NCAA name, image and likeness legislation offered a boost, but Warren planned the event himself. It likely would have happened even without the existence of NIL. He and his teammates handed out T-shirts to the kids, and proceeds from sales of the excess inventory will go directly to the Boys and Girls Club, said Sammy Spina, who is Warren's NIL representative. Carter said the idea of taking an afternoon to spend time with the kids "started with a dream and a passion." "Growing up, I was always in a Boys and Girls Club," he said. "I just wanted to give back. It's all about (the kids). "Growing up, living in Paterson, N.J., there's not much around. The Boys and Girls Club, that was a safe haven for a lot of people." - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
