Nihar Janga has Dez Bryant’s stamp of approval.
Janga crushed it at this year’s Scripps National Spelling Bee, earning co-champion honors alongside Jairam Hathwar. His word-spelling prowess wasn’t the only highlight of his tournament, though. Janga stole everyone’s heart, including Bryant’s, with a charismatic performance that he capped by tossing up the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver’s trademark “X” touchdown celebration.

Let’s hope Bryant and the Cowboys really do get Janga out to a game at AT&T Stadium. The 11-year-old native of Austin, Texas, who’s a huge fan of Bryant, certainly deserves it.
