Four-star Jordan quarterback Austin Kafentzis on Saturday surprised a 12-year old football player that had endured a terrible tragedy.

Wyatt Kougioulis’ father committed suicide a year and a half ago, but Wyatt continued on doing what the two of them enjoyed together: sports.

Kafentzis ran into Wyatt’s grandfather recently, and volunteered to show up to Wyatt’s football game and sign a football for him.

The Little Leaguers also enjoyed a pep talk by the Wisconsin bound QB.

Kougioulis added to the afternoon with an interception in front of Kafentzis' watchful eye.
