One student recently had the surprise of his life after Utah Jazz star Donovan Mitchell appeared on the screen of his cellphone.

It wasn’t a prank or a random butt dial. Mitchell called William Gustave to tell him that he was awarded a full college scholarship by the Jazz, as part of the organization’s initiative started by team owner Ryan Smith. Since last season, the Jazz have been giving a full college scholarship to any qualified student in the state after every win.

In the great story by The Undefeated's Marc J. Spears, Mitchell said he was more than elated to tell Gustave, who used to live in a refugee camp in Tanzania, the great news.

“That might have been the coolest part. A lot of the kids are getting these scholarships are first- or maybe second-generation going to college. To see their family freak out from seeing not only their favorite basketball player on the screen, but to share that life-changing moment with them is pretty dope.”

The Jazz All-Star, who studied at the University of Louisville, was also reminded of a special day in his life when he spoke to Gustave.

“They were shocked that I was on the phone. They were probably like, ‘Who the hell is calling me from this number?’ But after I told them what was going on, there was a moment of shock. They can’t believe it’s happening. I know the feeling when you work your whole life for something and then it works out. For me, it would be like (NBA) Draft night.”

As of writing, the Jazz have already handed out 97 full college scholarships.

Your move, other NBA teams.
