Following the Fiesta Bowl on New Year’s Eve, Boise State defensive end Ahmed Hassanein was interviewed about their loss to Penn State. But Hassanein took a moment to give a shoutout to Coach Spencer Danielson for the impact he’s had on his life off the field.
“Coach D, you changed my life,” Hassanein said with tears in his eyes. “I did not know God until I got to Boise State.
“And I serve a true champion,” he continued. “Jesus Christ is the only true God. He died, rose from the dead three days later. That’s the champion that I serve, so thank you Coach D.”
Powerful: Boise State’s DE Ahmed Hassanein while in tears thanks HC Spencer Danielson for teaching him about God this season:
“Coach D you changed my life, I didn’t know God until I got to Boise State.”
Such a cool moment captured ❤️🙏
