The college football season is only weeks away from kickoff, with Week Zero set to get things started. Soon, the quest for the College Football Playoff will begin as teams like the Miami Hurricanes look to earn their way back into the tournament.
However, what is also upon us is a season of support from players' family members, friends, and classmates. Parents and loved ones will travel across the country to support their favorite players and teams. Mark Fletcher Jr.'s mother, Linda, knows this all too well.

It was reported that Fletcher's mother has a strong distaste for flying. Rather than take to the skies, Linda drove more than 17,000 miles to support her son at his games last season. Miami alumnus Michael Irvin heard about her dedication and decided to make her travels a little easier. Irvin gifted Linda her own customized RV so she can continue traveling to support her son. The heartwarming moment was captured on video and has since gone viral.
