Everybody knows that eating alone is a tough thing, when you’re a kid, it’s even worse. But for one kid, he got the experience of a lifetime when he found himself in the midst of a new pal: a pro-baller who plays for FSU with hopes of eventually heading into the NFL.

20-year-old Travis Rudolph is being hailed as a hero  after he visited a Tallasshee Florida middle school when he noticed young Bo Paske eating lunch alone. Paske, who has autism, is among the unfortunate kids in school who “didn’t fit in” and was often not invited to birthday parties.

But, he made a new friend, who “had a great conversation” and was very curious about Rudolph and his career.
