Jameson Lopez, a University of Arizona assistant professor in the College of Education, received the chance of a lifetime after he was invited to the Super Bowl by Arizona Cardinals football player Larry Fitzgerald. In addition to an all-expense-paid trip to Atlanta for both him and his father, Lopez had a chance to meet with Fitzgerald again and attend the NFL Honors on Saturday evening. Lopez was also invited to the USAA Salute to Service Military Appreciation Lounge, where he was honored for his military service. “It felt really surreal … It wasn’t until they bought my plane ticket and gave me the confirmation to the hotel room like a week ago that I was finally like ‘Ok, this is real,’” Lopez said. Lopez was selected as a Tillman Scholar in 2015. Through the Tillman Foundation, he took a tour of the Cardinals facility in Tempe where he met Fitzgerald and filmed a commercial with him for “My Clause My Cleats.” “[Fitzgerald] is a great guy. You know, you see people, and they’re super athletic and famous, but he’s actually a man of substance and character, and for me that was so refreshing,” Lopez said. The foundation was founded in 2004 following the death of Pat Tillman, a former Arizona Cardinals football player who left his career in sports to enlist in the United States Army in 2002. The foundation is dedicated to supporting military veterans through academic scholarships.
