Orlando – Michigan kicker Kenny Allen is doing his part to make this a "Specialist Christmas."

Taking a cue from fellow Big Ten specialist, Minnesota's Peter Mortell, Allen has chosen to use his $315 Best Buy gift card, part of the Citrus Bowl gift to all the Michigan and Florida players, to share the holiday spirit with local kids.

Allen, via Twitter, said he was inspired by Mortell to use his gift card "to buy for others! Can't wait to hand these out to deserving kids."

His post featured a photo of all the ear buds and $30 iTunes gift cards he purchased.
