L.A. student Jake Davidson has a crush on Sports Illustrated cover model Kate Upton. Naturally, he figured it couldn’t hurt to ask her to be his prom date. What did he have to lose, right?

He turned to the Twitterverse to help get his message out:

And got character witnesses:

It was a long shot. Perhaps the longest of long shots. But the great thing about America is that dreams really can come true:
“@JakeDavidson23:http://t.co/4PjGLDd6i9” you can call me Katie if you want! How could I turn down that video! I'll check my schedule 😉

Davidson appeared this morning on the TODAY Show:

Where he got another special treat:
"I'd love to go with you." –@KateUpton to Jake Davidson, the high school senior who asked her to prom.

Upton still hasn’t confirmed whether or not she’ll go with Davidson to prom, but if it’s a go, a private security firm (according to its Twitter account) has offered its services:
@JakeDavidson23 @KateUpton We would like to provide our services free of charge, in hope that Ms. Upton feels secure and accepts.
