"So I hustle out to mid-field for the TCU Iowa State coin toss. The TCU captains are there plus a special guest of Iowa State, a little girl in a wheelchair. They toss the coin, all the players come over to see the girl, but one player, TCU QB Trevor Boykin, took the time to kneel down and I hear him say "What's your name?" I was incredibly touched. Who but a true champion does that just minutes before a big game?"

Sat 4 row in the TCU section and had a great visit with a couple from Fort Worth. Definitely rooting for TCU against the other big 12 Heavyweights.

When I went down to TCU in 2012 for both a campus visit and to watch the Iowa State play them, I was blown away on how nice their fans were and even after we beat them. I retweeted a picture of Boykin talking to the girl after the game but he is hard not to like. Even though I ended up choosing Iowa State over TCU, I still can't find any reason not to cheer for them as long they aren't playing my Clones.

Whatever team drafts him is going to have both a solid player and a solid citizen.
Wish more of these stories would get picked up nationally

I noticed this on tv as the game was about to get going. I am so glad this was caught on camera and is being shared. You could see just by the body language and how it happened it was genuine...thought that was cool to do as a road team (obvious he understands more to life than just football).

Hmm, not convinced it wasn't a media set up for a heisman canidate, but I'll take your word for it.

"Class Act" is not exactly what I was thinking after he "Shushed" the crowd while walking out of the end zone after a second half touchdown.

Which would be totally fine if it were an ISU player no doubt.

And we totally love it when Niang does stuff like that. Who cares if he did something totally non-offensive to interact with the crowd?

I'm definitely putting TCU as #2 on my Big 12 list behind ISU. Hope they run the table and smack that assault cover artist Briles around.

Bingo. If you didn't like that, you better have been appalled when he blew a kiss at CHA last year.

This comment is stupid and you should feel stupid. Trevone is a complete class act. I'll be pulling for him for heisman and I hope TCU ends up winning the national championship. Have a lot of respect for him and Gary Patterson.

It was way different when Georges blew a kiss.
1. It was against IA.
2. It was awesome.
