My Sportsman: Nebraska fan Jack Hoffman

Sports Illustrated will announce its choice for 2013's Sportsman of the Year on Dec. 16. Here's one of the nominations for that honor by an SI writer.

I hope he wins. He was one of the bright spots in our season this year! Little guy has heart and we are all better because of his journey!

Nothing like the heart of a champion in the a frail little frame to bring out the best in all of us! It amazes me how much his story still brings up so much emotion every time I hear it.. I think we should thank Jack and his family for sharing their heartache and joys with us... I think it all gives us a little hope for the best things in life..

I would say his run was one of, if not THE, bright spot in all of sports this year.
