FSU player visits elementary school, has lunch with boy with autism

Tallahassee — Florida State University wide receiver Travis Rudolph and other FSU players visited a Tallahassee middle school and the star athlete saw a young student sitting by himself.

Sixth-grader Bo Paske has autism and often eats by himself, his mother said in a Facebook post.

Rudolph joined the student for lunch.

He is a super sweet child, who always has a smile and hug for everyone he meets, the mother said in the Facebook post.

"I'm not sure what exactly made this incredibly kind man share a lunch table with my son, but I'm happy to say that it will not soon be forgotten," the mother said. 

She was grateful of Rudolph's kindness.

"Travis Rudolph thank you so much, you made this momma exceedingly happy, and have made us fans for life!" she said.
