The Washington Commanders opened the three-day minicamp Tuesday with the entire team present. The Commanders also had a special guest.
Torrance is a 15-year-old honor roll student and Commanders’ superfan. Torrance is also battling leukemia and, courtesy of the Hogfarmers, had the opportunity to spend the day with the Commanders.
In addition to meeting some of his favorite players, such as Chase Young and Terry McLaurin, head coach Ron Rivera had Torrance break Washington’s huddle.

Commanders on 3, family on 6!

As Torrance came on the field, Kendall Fuller, Rivera, Young and others encouraged him to break the huddle. Torrance obliged.
Rivera and the Commanders always do well here. Last summer, the team did something similar with 11-year-old Josiah Desper, a cancer survivor, and five-year-old Sophie Manning, who battled leukemia.
The aforementioned Hogfarmers deserve a shoutout for all of the outstanding work they do with the kids and families impacted by pediatric cancer.
We collaborated with @commandersCR for a special day for 15 year old Torrance.
Torrance is an honor roll student, a sports athlete, and a huge @Commanders fan who is actively battling leukemia.
He spent the day meeting the team, participating in practice and making memories.🎗 pic.twitter.com/NPvxDVeJTN
