Michigan kicker Kenny Allen decided he would spend his $325 Citrus Bowl gift card to Best Buy on those that needed it most, not himself. The redshirt junior kicker, who is 16-for-20 on field goals this year, bought some headphones and iTunes gift cards for needy children.

Allen says he was inspired by Minnesota punter Peter Mortell, who raised more than $25,000 to buy presents for children at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital. Here was Mortell’s tweet to Allen:
Another @B1Gfootball specialist giving back. Hats off to you, @KennyAllen91! You're making a difference this year. https://t.co/jdAj4yIZEu

Very thoughtful gestures by these two!
Allen said Sunday that he’ll deliver this gifts to the University of Michigan’s Mott Children’s Hospital:
