MEMPHIS, Tennessee – Two high school students from Memphis, Tennessee, have mobilized to help a freshman who has been harassed on his clothes.

Michael Todd was taken out of his third year class at Martin Luther King Preparatory High School on Monday morning. His football players, Kristopher Graham and Antwan Garrett, gave him a present: bags filled with shirts, shorts, shoes, etc.

"I was very happy," Todd said. "Shocked completely."

"He was not smiling or anything and I was like, I think that will make you smile," said Graham. "I told him we were in the same third period and I'm sorry to laugh at you and I want to give you something to catch up with."

Todd laughed for three weeks in a row at his new school.

"I have been bullied all my life," he said.

He wore the same clothes every day and the school students made fun of him.

"My mother can not buy clothes for me because I grow up too fast," he said.

"When I saw people laughing and nagging at him, I felt that I had to do something," Graham said.

So Graham rummaged through his closet and grabbed a pile of clothes. He also sent an SMS to his friend Antwan to help him.

"I can give him new shoes and some items that I could give him too," Garrett said.

They packed everything up and gave it to Todd.

The help does not stop in the hallways of the school. People from other states saw the video and went to send him clothes.

"Great," Todd said of all the attention. "The best day of my life, basically."
