It brought Bo's mother to tears when she heard that her son, who often sits alone at lunch time, was joined by an American Footballer who was visiting the school.

It was reported that Travis Rudoph, who plays for Florida State, sat with Bo when he noticed he was eating alone.

Well, a week after that, Rudolph, 20, returned to see Bo.

He surprised Bo with his very own custom Seminoles jersey, with his surname across the back, reports the Metro.

That's not it, though. The footballer also invited Bo and his mum to watch a game, with all-access passes to watch the game against Ole Miss in Orlando last night.

Footage shared by FSU Football shows the moment when Rudolph handed over the gifts.

This feel-good story just gets better and better!
