Is this a real life Rudy moment? Something like that.
Notre Dame’s football team got some new uniforms Thursday, but it was the young man modeling the uniform, Josh Anderson, who got the real surprise.
The team’s coach Brian Kelly brought Anderson out to show off the squad’s new unis for their upcoming game at Fenway Park. Then the tearjerker moment happened.
Kelly said Anderson “models a lot of the things that are right with Notre Dame football.”
“He’s worked hard since he came here,” Kelly continued. “He’s a walk-on, and today, Josh, Congratulations. We’re offering you a scholarship.”
Anderson looked stunned before his teammates rushed him with excitement and loud cheers.
What a great moment for a young athlete on any level.
