LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Luis Ortiz got a special surprise from the NFL, in recognition of his community and student outreach at his high school.

The NFL's Super Bowl Ticket Giveaway program provided the teen with four tickets to the February game right here in Las Vegas.

Luis got the tickets during the November 5 Raiders game against the New York Giants, where he and his family were honored with an on-field recognition before being provided with premium seating by the Las Vegas Raiders.

Representatives with the Super Bowl LVIII Host Committee talked about why Luis was gifted the tickets in a Monday statement.

"At his previous school, Luis served as team captain of his soccer, football and basketball team. Luis would lend his time to assist other students with behavioral issues through sports, teaching them about the value of sportsmanship. Luis was also pivotal in de-escalating situations with other students in his previous school."
