Rutgers’s spring game on Friday ended with 11-year-old Gavin Kane scoring a touchdown.
It was a touching moment for fans at SHI Stadium. Kane’s father Christian and Todd Frazier, a Rutgers legend and former MLB third baseman, carried Kane, who was named the “Shining Knight” of the game, across the line of scrimmage and into the end zone.
The entire Scarlet Knights team celebrated around Kane as his father held him in the air. The touchdown horn also went off in celebration.
Kane uses a wheelchair after suffering a major injury from a car accident when he was just 19 months old, according to Saturday Tradition.
