Vols QB Joshua Dobbs is young Tennessee fan AJ Cucksey’s favorite player.
And Cucksey, who reportedly has an inoperable brain tumor, has become friends with Dobbs over the last several months.
That’s why Dobbs taking the time to be there for his big surprise was such a big deal.
On Saturday, AJ received a completely remodeled bedroom via non-profit organization Special Spaces.
Per the organization, Special Spaces is a non-profit organization providing dream room makeovers creating healthier living opportunities for children with life threatening illnesses.
The room was completely tricked out with Vols memorabilia, with an orange and white checkerboard on the wall setting the tone.
It only seemed fitting that Dobbs be in the room as the cherry on top of the surprise.

If young AJ seems familiar, that’s probably because this wasn’t his first run-in with the Tennessee QB.
Among other visits, Dobbs stopped by to see AJ and his family on Christmas, delivering the Vols fan a new jacket:
