Before their senior night game, these young athletes gift their jerseys to the teachers, staff, and administrators who’ve supported them along the way.
Athletic Director Austin Gullett shared a video of this heartfelt event on TikTok, and in just four days, it’s gone viral with over 10 million views.

Gullett captured the spirit of the tradition perfectly, saying, “From security to teacher to administrators, no matter the title you hold, you never know who you can make an impact on. Every day we come to work is an opportunity to make an impact & these staff members have changed these young men’s lives for the better!”

The touching tribute has drawn comments from all over—including one from the NFL, simply saying, “crying.”
Many viewers echoed the sentiment, especially after watching the first teacher in the video.
"The pure joy in the first teachers reaction 'I was really hoping you would pick me.' Man I'm in tears.🥹🥹🥹" one commenter wrote.
