Jurrell Casey provides financial relief for local high school

Former USC Trojans defensive tackle Jurrell Casey is providing financial relief to Park Hill High School football players.

Former USC Trojans defensive lineman Jurrell Casey is making himself right at home in Denver, his new NFL city after getting traded from the Titans to the Broncos this offseason.

Casey, via the charity he co-founded, The Casey Fund, is providing the Park Hill Pirates with a back-to-school grant, which will cover the costs of all football registration fees, and will also provide tables and internet access to students for the upcoming school year.

“Eliminating the fees for the Park Hill Pirates’ parents is huge,” Casey said in a statement released on Twitter. “Growing up playing Pop Warner football myself, my other always had to find a way to come up with these fees – considering bills pile up quickly. Plenty of times, I almost couldn’t play, but my uncle stepped in to help. Now, it’s my chance to help and I am honored to do that.”

Casey spent the first nine years of his NFL career with the Titans before joining Denver this offseason, where he will unite with Von Miller and Bradley Chubb to form an elite defensive front.

The big defensive tackle starred at USC from 2008-2010, racking up 22 tackles for loss before being selected by Tennessee in the third round of the 2011 NFL draft.
