Urban Meyer is prepping his Ohio State Buckeyes for their matchup against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in this year’s Fiesta Bowl, but between instructing his players on what the gameplan is, he took time to have Kevin Jones visit the team’s complex, who’s a six-year-old Bucks fan diagnosed with a life-threatening blood disorder at the age of one.

Teaming up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Meyer didn’t just spend a few hours with the tyke and throw around the pigskin and giving him an all-access tour of the facility, but also delivered one of the coolest surprises ever, giving Kevin and his entire family tickets to the Fiesta Bowl in Phoenix.
Thank-you @OSUCoachMeyer & @JT_theQB4th for helping make wishes come true. The wish granted is next @fox28columbus pic.twitter.com/z8x5E1upXd

Meyer, who has a reputation for being a little high strung and for holding his teams to near-impossible expectations, showed a softer side that’s cool to see, so good job of being in the holiday spirit, Urb.
