Ravens Star Safety Sets Summer 2026 Wedding After Transferring Fortune to His Mother

Baltimore, MD – September 2, 2025

The Ravens’ young superstar has already broken barriers on the field, but his latest decision goes far beyond football. Ahead of his wedding planned for the summer of 2026, he made a move that shocked fans — transferring his entire fortune into his mother’s name.

For Kyle Hamilton, the record-setting safety who recently signed a $100 million extension, money has never been the heart of his story. Love and loyalty have. By giving up control of his wealth, he made clear that marriage to high school sweetheart Reese Damm will be about nothing but devotion. 

Hamilton and Damm have been together since their teenage years, navigating fame, pressure, and the unforgiving spotlight of the NFL. Their engagement in June 2025 captured headlines, but it’s the way Hamilton is preparing for the wedding that reveals who he truly is.

“My mom sacrificed everything so I could reach this point. By placing everything under her name, I’m reminding myself — and the world — that our marriage is built on love, not money,” Hamilton said quietly when asked about the decision.

The symbolic act echoes the same qualities Baltimore fans see every Sunday: trust, sacrifice, and unshakable loyalty. It is rare in professional sports for players to step away from wealth as leverage, but Hamilton believes this is how to protect both his family and his legacy.

By the time summer 2026 arrives, the ceremony is expected to bring together friends, family, and teammates in what will feel less like an NFL wedding and more like a celebration of values. His two worlds — football and family — will meet under one roof.

For Ravens fans, Hamilton’s choice reinforces the culture Baltimore has always prized. On the field, he is a defensive anchor. Off the field, he is a son honoring his mother, and a partner proving that love can stand apart from wealth.

As the countdown to next summer begins, one question remains: will Kyle Hamilton be remembered more for his hits and interceptions, or for teaching that the greatest legacy is not measured in millions, but in the way we love and protect family?

 
 
 

Packers Rookie Cut Before Season Retires to Join Military Service
The NFL is often described as the pinnacle of athletic dreams, but for one Green Bay rookie, the path to greatness has taken a turn away from the gridiron and toward a higher calling. After signing as an undrafted free agent in May, the young cornerback fought through training camp and preseason battles, hoping to carve out a roster spot on a Packers team recalibrating its depth and identity in the secondary. That player is Tyron Herring, a Delaware (via Dartmouth) standout known as a true outside corner with length, competitive toughness, and special-teams upside. Listed at 6’1”, 201 pounds with verified long speed, Herring built a reputation as a press-capable defender who thrives along the boundary.  Waived in late August, Herring stunned teammates and fans by announcing his retirement from professional football and his decision to enlist in the U.S. military, trading a Packers jersey for a soldier’s uniform. “I lived my NFL dream in Green Bay, but being cut before the season opened another path,” Herring said in a statement. “This isn’t the end — it’s a higher calling. Now, I choose to serve my country with the same heart I gave the Packers.” Prototypical on paper for Green Bay’s boundary profile and steady on tape throughout August, Herring nevertheless faced heavy competition in a crowded cornerback room. The numbers game won out as the Packers finalized their 53 and practice squad. For the Packers, the move closes the chapter on a developmental project with intriguing tools. For Herring, it begins a profound new journey that echoes his “hidden gem” label — a player who consistently rose above expectations and now seeks to do so in service to something bigger than the game. Fans across Wisconsin and the college football community saluted the decision on social media, calling it “the ultimate sacrifice” and “proof that heart is bigger than the game.” Herring leaves the NFL, but his next mission may prove even greater.
