Former Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray gave high school student Heather Farmer a prom to remember over the  weekend.

Heather, from Paulding County, asked Murray to prom a few weeks ago, but the former SEC football star had a prior engagement during Heather’s school-sponsored prom, according to a post on Facebook by her mother, Michelle.

Murray then suggested the two have their own prom.

“I wish more athletes were like Aaron,” Michelle wrote on Facebook. “He took time out of his busy schedule to do this for her and it just meant the world to her and myself.”

Prom photos of Murray and Heather can be seen below along with the full post from Michelle.
