Episode 11 of the Sapp-Trapp Stillness Is an Illness Podcast takes place back at the legendary Esso Club in Clemson, where Patrick Sapp, James Trapp, and Brian Moss sit down with Clemson alum Travis Blanks — a respected leader on and off the field.
Travis opens up about his years at Clemson and how the relationships he built there shaped the trajectory of his life. The guys dive deep into the mental, spiritual, and physical pillars of the SIAI philosophy — everything from PADL247 to the daily discipline and intentional movement that keep you grounded and healthy.
He walks through the challenges of recovering from his ACL injuries, breaking down the mindset and faith that got him through. Travis shares how he reached a point of peace — whether he returned as a premier athlete or not, he trusted that the outcome would lead him where he needed to be.
The crew also hits on the state of college football today, how tight the field is, and what Clemson needs to do to elevate its play moving forward. Travis speaks on the impact of Coach Dabo Swinney, the mentorship he received from James Trapp, and what life looks like for him now after hanging up the cleats. This is a conversation about growth, leadership, resilience, and the mindset required to win — in football and in life.
