Moments before kickoff, Maryville senior Noah Vaughn was motioned to the railing by members of the school’s youth football program.

One particular fan, sporting an exceptionally well-done mohawk haircut, wanted more than simply an autograph; he wanted the Virginia commit to sign his jersey!

Obliging, Vaughn told the young fan to fetch a Sharpie and he’d be back in a bit.

The rest is straight outta Disney.
