ORLANDO, Fla. β€” Support continues to pour in for injured Central Florida quarterback McKenzie Milton, and Saturday it will come in the form of leis.

The Knight's recent War On I-4 win over rival USF it came with a price. Heisman hopeful and UCF Q-B McKenzie Milton suffered a season-ending knee injury.

The 21-year-old from Kapolei, Hawaii has been a key contributor over the last two years for the Knights program, and fans began pushing online for everyone to get leis as a way to pay tribute to Milton.

UCF decided to take that a step further. On Saturday, 40,000 fans who enter Spectrum Stadium for the AAC Championship between UCF and Memphis will receive a lei. 

β€œThis started organically,” UCF Associate Athletics Director Andy Seeley explained. β€œA bunch of our fans started asking 'how can we honor McKenzie? Can we buy Hawaiian shirts or buy leis and that sort of thing?' And the leis thing took off, so when we saw that we started reaching out to some people we know.”

One of the people UCF Athletics knows is Global Enterprises President and UCF alumnus Sanjay Sam Srinivasan. His company actually manufactures leis, and donated them to UCF for the AAC Championship this weekend.

Anyone who walks through Spectrum Stadium on Saturday with a ticket can get one of the 40,000 plus leis the school will distribute.

β€œI believed about giving back, giving back to the school that I love,” Srinivasan sayid. β€œBut more importantly, as a gesture, I wanted to get really involved and support UCF Athletics, and if I could do this, hopefully I will inspire others to do this."

The leis have all been boxed up and will arrive at UCF sometime on Friday.

Kick off for the AAC title game is set for 3:30 p.m., and Spectrum Stadium may just be one of the largest ohana gatherings in the history of Orlando.

According to UCF, they do not know at this time if Milton and his family will be in attendance for the game.

Milton had surgery to restore blood flow to his leg after his injury in the game in Tampa. The nerve in his knee is injured and the knee itself requires reconstructive surgery. 

Still, the family says he is upbeat, and while he can't be on the field, he is using FaceTime to help his team prepare for the AAC championship against Memphis. Quarterback Darriel Mack Jr., who will lead the team Saturday, tweeted a picture of a meeting with Milton on Wednesday:

Milton was also named AAC Offensive Player of the Year Wednesday. He won the title last year as well.
