Keaton Jones, the young boy who was bullied at school and appeared in a tearful video that went viral, has made a lot of new friends this week. The kid who was bullied has also been invited to hang out with his new celebrity friends including tickets to a Titans game from Tennessee tight end Delanie Walker, going to the UFC headquarters in Las Vegas as a guest of Dana White, going to see the world premiere of Avengers: Infinity Wars with Captain America himself, Chris Evans. Keaton’s first of many celebrity encounters happened when he hung out with several Tennessee Volunteers football players.
On Saturday, Vols quarterback Jarrett Guarantano tried to arrange a meeting with the victim of bullying.
Please let his mother know that we are trying to reach out. Keaton has some friends on the football team that would love to spend some time with him. https://t.co/tj1ZqDM4KD

Guarantano was able to meet up with the special boy and shared a photo of himself and Jones hanging out on Sunday. He also had some encouraging words for Keaton: “So I got the chance to spend the day with my new best bud Keaton. It was unbelievable to get to know him and realize that we have a lot in common. This dude is very special and has changed my life forever. Now I have the little brother I always wanted! God bless you my man.”
