CLARKE COUNTY, Ga. – Current Houston Texan and former Georgia Bulldog Kamari Lassiter gained recognition for his recent announcement regarding a generous contribution to his alma mater. Lassiter is donating $4,000 to the University of Georgia Athletic Association to aid with fees, room and board, tuition, and other expenses.
The 42nd overall pick of the second round of the 2024 draft stated, “This gift is me trying to give back to the university, a place, the people who poured so much into me. Throughout my time at Georgia, I learned so much and met so many people who laid their hands on my life, and I can never fully repay the University of Georgia and the Athletic Association back for that.”
UGA head coach Kirby Smart expressed, “We are grateful for Kamari giving back to the program. His mother, Kammie, and his family instilled values and a work ethic in him, and he’s developing into a man we can all be proud of. Kamari was a special player for us during the 2021 and 2022 championship runs, and he is proving what sort of competitor he will now be in the NFL.”
Lassiter’s NFL rookie year included four interceptions, one safety, and 63 stops, making him one of the Texans’ top rookie defenders.
Regarding his donation, Lassiter posted online, “JUST GETTING STARTED, I PROMISE MORE BLESSINGS OTW. REAL GEORGIA BOY THRU N THRU,” hinting toward additional contributions in the future.
