Former NFL quarterback Drew Brees is giving back to student-athletes in honor of Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro center Jason Kelce retiring after 13 seasons in the league this week.
Brees announced a scholarship which will be given to 13 college athletes who are walk-ons.
Jason Kelce started his collegiate football career at the University of Cincinnati by walking on as a linebacker before converting to offensive line.
"These scholarships represent more than just financial aid," Brees said in a statement. "They're a salute to the relentless spirit and unwavering dedication that drives athletes to excel, mirroring the qualities that Jason Kelce showcased throughout his career.
"With this initiative, your inspirational spirit will continue to guide and motivate future generations. Thank you and here's to the spirit of the walk-on."
