The Troy University Trojans football team shared an emotional video on Sunday, saying “It’s okay if you cry, we won’t judge you!”

In the video, head coach Neal Brown huddles the team up before announcing a big surprise.

“One of our hardest workers,” Brown says to begin his announcement. “Started every game for us last year, done great in school for us — 3.0+ GPA.”

“Giving away a full scholarship to someone who earned it tonight,” Brown tells the huddle. “And his mom’s going to give it to him.”

“Cameron Kaye, give it up,” Brown exclaims, as the player emerges from the cheering crowd of players.

Kaye, who earned the scholarship as a walk-on, walks over to his mom as she is holding the paperwork and hugs her.
