An Iowa high-school football player was caught on camera helping an injured player on the opposing side—and his kind act has gone viral.

During a Friday night game in early September, after a play ended, Charles City Comets wide receiver Mario Hoefer witnessed one of his opponents go down. Carter Steinlage of the New Hampton Chickasaws was on the ground clutching his leg in pain.
