Rashan Gary Fulfills His Promise to 15 High School Football Teams

More than just an icon on NFL fields, Rashan Gary 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.

Gary announced this initiative in May at a community event in New Jersey, 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 mark that reflects Gary’s playing identity.

“Seeing a symbol that’s become part of my identity on a Paramus Catholic jersey means so much to me,” Gary 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 Gary, 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 Gary):

  • Paramus Catholic High School (Paramus, New Jersey)

  • 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,” Gary added. “The ‘all in’ mentality has driven me throughout my career, and it’s what I hope Paramus Catholic and other programs embrace when they take the field in these uniforms.”

    Even as Gary remains one of the NFL’s premier defenders, 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.

    Green Bay Packers Become First NFL Team to Introduce 3-Year Life Transition Program
    The Green Bay Packers have become the first NFL franchise to unveil a three-year program supporting players who are released or retiring from football, marking a milestone for athlete welfare. This initiative helps former Packers navigate life after the game, providing career mentorship, education stipends, and steady financial support to ease the transition from football to civilian life. The program includes monthly income, psychological wellness services, and family guidance resources — extending the team’s “family first” philosophy beyond the field. Packers President/CEO Ed Policy said in the team’s statement: “Once a Packer, always a Packer. Football may end, but our commitment to our people will never fade.” Players’ unions and analysts praised the Packers for leading with empathy, calling the move a “model for NFL-wide reform.” Fans in Green Bay celebrated the decision as another example of the city’s grit, loyalty, and community spirit — values that echo through Lambeau Field every Sunday. For Titletown, this isn’t about image — it’s about identity. The Packers prove that success means more when it’s shared with every member of the family.
