College football star befriends boy with autism eating lunch alone

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) — A Florida State football player scored a touchdown Tuesday in the game of life.

A photo posted to Facebook shows FSU wide receiver Travis Rudolph eating lunch with Bo Paske, a Montford Middle School student in Tallahassee, Florida.

Paske has autism and his mom says most days, he eats alone. On Tuesday, Rudolph was visiting the school and noticed Bo sitting solo in a lunchroom full of people. He was quick to change that.

“Honestly, I saw him by himself and I was like,’Yo, can I have a seat with you and eat with you?'” Travis Rudolph said. “He was like, ‘Sure, why not?’ We just started out having a good conversation.”
