Rams’ Aaron Donald makes ‘seven-figure financial commitment’ to Pitt football

Los Angeles Rams superstar Aaron Donald gives back to his alma mater with a massive financial commitment given to his University of Pittsburgh.

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald is giving back to the University of Pittsburgh after spending four years with the Panthers.

The announcement was made on Friday according to the school's website, and Donald continues to impact the school in a great way even years after his time there.

“The University announced today that Donald has made a seven-figure financial commitment to the Pitt Football Championship Fund, which serves the program in such key areas as facility improvement, recruiting, technology and student-athlete development. At 27 years of age, Donald is the youngest seven-figure donor in the history of the University of Pittsburgh. It also marks the largest donation ever by a Pitt football letterman to the program.”

Donald is the league's most feared defender, but the donation he made to his former school proves he leaves all of the intensity for game-time. The Rams prized pass-rusher is a great role model and his decision to make the donation speaks volumes about his character.

“It was a dream come true to play for the University of Pittsburgh. My experience as a Panther is something that influences my life every day and I want to pay that forward. I believe in what Coach Narduzzi is building at Pitt and this was an opportunity for me to make a difference for our current and future players. Pitt will always be my school and I'm honored to be able to support the Blue and Gold.”

The Rams drafted a gem back in 2014, and after giving him the payday he deserved, it's great to see him giving back and not forgetting where he came from. Donald continues to be a positive impact on and off the field and the two-time Defensive Player of the Year is proving to be quite the humanitarian as well.
