“To me, all the gifts that you can give these football players and gift cards and backpacks and trips to Fun Spot is amazing. But to see them hear the story of the connection to Camping World Stadium and the West Lakes neighborhoods and then get the hang out with these kids for a couple hours. I feel like a lot of them feel like that’s been the best part of the trip so far,” said Steve Hogan, CEO of Florida Citrus Sports.
The Seminoles and the Sooners will head back to practice and prepare for Cheez-It Bowl on Thursday, Dec. 29, at 5:30 p.m.
