After recognizing his Ohio hometown in his Heisman Trophy acceptance speech, LSU quarterback Joe Burrow will have his high school football stadium named after him.
The Athens City School District announced on Thursday that it plans to rename Athens High School's stadium to the Joe Burrow Stadium.
"The Athens City School District Board of Education hereby recognizes and congratulates Athens High School Class of 2015 graduate Joe Burrow for his most recent accomplishment in winning college football's highest honor, the Heisman Trophy," the school district said in a Facebook post.
"In recognition of Mr. Burrow's accomplishments, the Athens City School District Board of Education does hereby direct the Superintendent and the Athens High School Administration to take such actions as are necessary to name the Athens High School Football Stadium the Joe Burrow Stadium and to work with the Athens High School Booster Club and the Athens High School Bulldog Blitz to plan a ceremony to celebrate this honor.
