Earlier this season, Dan Mullen and the Mississippi State Bulldogs headed west for a non-conference clash against the BYU Cougars.

BYU narrowly clipped MSU by a score of 28-21 in overtime. It was a hard-fought game — with both teams expelling considerable energy and effort.

On Saturday, linebacker Leo Lewis tweeted out a very special letter he received from a BYU fan in attendance that game:

The fan lauds Lewis for his character in dealing with his young son. As Lewis stated with the Tweet, “Your character is everything, and more. My integrity goes far beyond the football field.”

Based upon this ringing endorsement, it’s easy to see why Lewis is a wonderful representative of Mississippi State.
