A’Marion Peterson has a surprise for his high school teammates who helped him get to USC. Peterson, in a move that should be very familiar to Trojan fans and to Caleb Williams, reached out to his high school teammates. The Wichita Falls Times Record News explained his generosity:
After opting in to be part of the new College Football 25 video game being released by EA Sports this week, Peterson received $600 as part of the company’s name, image and likeness agreement with the more than 11,000 NCAA Division I football players who chose to be part of the game.
But Peterson isn’t keeping the money.
Instead, he’s donating it to four of his former teammates — Izayiah Mackey, Matthew Balderas, Robert Crump and Caleb Hargrow — and will also purchase the game for each individual.
“They helped protect and block for me in high school. I want to make sure they know how much I appreciate them for getting me to where I’m at today,” Peterson said.
It is a move of thanksgiving that should remind everyone of Caleb Williams, who invited his USC offensive line to the Heisman Trophy ceremony in New York as a gesture of appreciation for their hard work. Caleb Williams also gave various fun items to USC athletes in non-football sports, becoming part of a larger community. A’Marion Peterson and Caleb Williams are good people and good teammates.
