Boy with autism befriended by FSU star no longer has room at his lunch table
Travis Rudolph's middle school friend now has a table full of ladies
When Travis Rudolph sat down for lunch with Bo Paske, there was no intention of creating the viral moment that warmed the hearts of so many. Rudolph got a slice to pizza and sat with the lonely middle schooler, unaware that he was on the autism spectrum. The Florida State wide receiver made Bo's day -- his mother's probably more so -- and changed the boy's lunchroom status forever.
Bo's no longer sitting alone, according to Bo's mom, and now has a table full of middle school ladies at lunch, she explained on "Fox & Friends."
"Actually, yesterday, in the cafeteria he was sitting at a table full of girls," Leah Paske said. "He was the most popular kid in the room ... he had a seat at the table full of people."
Rudolph was touched by the experience as well, calling its occurrence a "blessing." Community service, Rudolph told FSU's team site, has always been something he's enjoyed doing since his first team visit. This is a bit of service that maybe never comes to light if not for a Facebook post, and it's cool to see it spotlight an individual already committed to impacting the community.
