Quarterback Joe Burrow’s high school is about to give him a major honor.
Following his Heisman victory and a 13-0 season with LSU, the Athens High School will name the football stadium after the greatest player to ever come out of it. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

This is a baller move from Athens. Whenever you have a Heisman winner come out of your program, you have to shine a light on it as much as possible.
After all, Heisman winners don’t exactly grow on the trees. It’s the most exclusive club in all of sports, and Burrow is officially a member.
He’s also a huge influence in the community, and an outstanding role model.

Renaming the stadium after Burrow is a great way to guarantee he gets remembered forever in Athens, which already shouldn’t have been a problem.
He’s without a doubt one of the greatest college football players of all time.
Now, the honors will really start pouring out if he pulls off a national championship. Tune in December 27 for the first round of the playoff games.
