He wants to be named "Roommate of the Year." And UF student Blake Matson is pretty close to winning that title and $20 thousand dollars.
The 21 year old computer engineering student is one of 12 finalists in a national video contest through Apartments.com.
The contest called for a video submission convincing viewers that you are the ideal roommate. Matson and friends decided to do a parody of popular Old Spice commercials.
Matson says the video took four days to create. He says if the video wins with the most votes, he'll use the money to help pay for his last year of school.
