A.J. Brown Fulfills His Promise to 15 High School Football Teams

More than just an icon on NFL fields, A.J. Brown is turning his love for high school football into concrete action—providing brand-new uniforms and apparel to more than a dozen programs across the United States, just as he promised back in May.

Brown announced this initiative in May at a community event in Starkville, Mississippi, in partnership with Adidas. Since then, the plan has kicked into gear: high school teams from Florida to California have begun receiving game kits bearing a signature emblem that reflects Brown’s playing identity.

“Seeing a symbol that speaks to who I am on a Starkville jersey means so much to me,” Brown said of the school where he grew up. “That mindset of giving everything you have and never backing down is something I’ve carried through every stage of my career. And now I hope it inspires the next generation of athletes across the country.”

According to Brown, the goal is not merely to “swap in new jerseys,” but to give students one more reason to show up each day with discipline and pride, keeping the flame alive for the high-school football ecosystem—the same one that shaped him.

Participating schools (as listed by Brown):

  • Starkville High School (Starkville, Mississippi)

  • Northwestern Senior High (Miami, Florida)

  • Broken Arrow High (Broken Arrow, Oklahoma)

  • Grayson High (Loganville, Georgia)

  • Cass Technical (Detroit, Michigan)

  • Detroit Catholic Central (Livonia, Michigan)

  • Chaminade–Madonna (Hollywood, Florida)

  • Inglewood High (Inglewood, California)

  • Orange Lutheran (Orange, California)

  • Longview High (Longview, Texas)

  • Southlake Carroll (Southlake, Texas)

  • Servite High (Anaheim, California)

  • Central Senior High (Miami, Florida)

  • Liberty North High (Liberty, Missouri)

  • Lincoln High School (San Diego, California)

  • “High school football is key not only to developing players but to teaching the effort and drive needed to succeed,” Brown added. “The ‘all in’ mentality has driven me throughout my career, and it’s what I hope Starkville and other programs embrace when they take the field in these uniforms.”

    Even as Brown remains at the pinnacle of the NFL, this high-school initiative reveals a fuller portrait: on-field achievement in step with investing in the sport’s future. With new uniforms, the strongest message comes from something simple: every student deserves the pride of wearing their team’s colors—and the chance to dream bigger.

     

    Ravens Update Quarterback Depth Amid Controversies - Re-signed Pro Bowl Star to QB2
    Baltimore, MD – October 7, 2025 Following Cooper Rush's disappointing performance in the humiliating 10-44 loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday (October 6), the Baltimore Ravens are facing intense debates about their quarterback room depth. With Lamar Jackson still nursing a hamstring injury and potentially missing the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams (scheduled for Week 6), the big question arises: Should Tyler Huntley – the former Ravens Pro Bowl star – get the starting nod over Rush? Huntley, 27 years old, was re-signed by the Ravens to the practice squad at the end of August 2025 and quickly elevated to QB2 for Week 5. He served as the Ravens' backup QB from 2020-2024, leading the team to the playoffs in 2022 and earning a Pro Bowl replacement spot thanks to his impressive performances filling in for Jackson. With experience in 9 starts (3-6 record), Huntley brings familiarity to the Ravens' offensive system, particularly his mobility and game-reading skills – something Rush seemed to lack in the Texans loss, where he completed only 18/34 passes with 1 TD and 2 INTs, resulting in the offense scoring just 10 points. The controversy exploded on social media, with the hashtag #RavensFlock divided. Many fans support Huntley: "Rush has proven he's not the solution. Huntley knows the system, knows how to win games – put him in!" (from account @RavensFanatic on X). Meanwhile, others defend Rush, arguing he needs time to adapt after transferring from the Dallas Cowboys: "Rush just started his first game for us. Don't rush to conclusions – he has playoff experience!" However, Rush's performance (only 189 passing yards, no big plays) has raised concerns about the depth chart, especially with Jackson possibly out for another 1-2 weeks. Head coach John Harbaugh hasn't commented directly, but in the post-Texans press conference, he hinted at a reevaluation: "We have multiple quality options at QB. Tyler is ready, and we'll choose the one best suited to win." ESPN insiders report that Huntley has been practicing fully and performing well, potentially being promoted to official QB2 if Jackson misses the Rams game – a crucial matchup for the Ravens (currently 1-4) to salvage their season. Signing Huntley – a Pro Bowl star – is seen as a smart move amid the controversies, boosting the Ravens' depth and flexibility. If Huntley gets "the nod" to start, it could be his chance to prove his value, just like his previous fill-ins for Jackson. Ravens fans are awaiting the decision – will "Snoop" (Huntley's nickname) return to save the team? Follow updates from baltimoreravens.com for more details. #RavensFlock #QBControversy
