per Megan:
Toddler Elias McNeal gazed up at Casey O’Brien as the Gophers holder visited him in his room at Tampa General Hospital.
The little boy — whose family moved from Minneapolis to the Tampa area about a decade ago — was in the hospital with a bone infection, awaiting an MRI. But when a group of Gophers and Auburn players rumbled through the hallway outside his room, his grandmother leaned out the door to shout “Go Gophers!”
That caught O’Brien’s attention, as well as that of receiver Seth Green and linebacker Thomas Barber. The three ended up lingering in McNeal’s room, signing posters and snapping selfies with the little boy, decked out in his new Gophers T-shirt and hat.
O’Brien sharing that moment with a young fan is a bit of a miracle. One that’s now happened five times.
