Based on his Heisman speech he is a humble and a wonderful person.

Great kid.

Went through the same Parochial school system (Archdiocese of Miami Schools) that my nieces attended (albeit All Boys/All Girls) and took his HS to a State Championship for the first time ever.

He received no offers from any of the "big" State Universities (UM, FSU, OF, FIU... nobody), so off he went.

His grandparents are Cuban.

Miami is very proud of him.
