Purdue graduate and Boilermakers superfan Tyler Trent has been honored with his own bobblehead.

Trent, who's battling a rare form of bone cancer, gained widespread attention after being profiled by ESPN during Purdue's victory over Ohio State last month. He was presented with the game ball afterward.

Trent's bobblehead is being sold through the Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum website for $30, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Tyler Trent Cancer Research Endowment and the V Foundation for Cancer Research, according to ESPN's Darren Rovell.

"I'm so humbled by this opportunity," Trent told ESPN. "I hope people continue to donate and give to cancer research."
