Devon Dampier Gives Back: Utah Quarterback Donates $9,000 to Hometown High School
SALT LAKE CITY — Devon Dampier, the starting quarterback for the University of Utah, is making headlines not just for his on-field performance but also for his philanthropic efforts off the field. This offseason, Dampier made a generous $9,000 donation to North Canyon High School in Phoenix, Arizona, where his two younger brothers play football.
The donation aims to provide North Canyon with two complete sets of new football uniforms and essential equipment, significantly enhancing a program that has struggled financially. The existing uniforms, having been in use for several years, are in dire need of replacement. Dampier’s connection to North Canyon is particularly personal, as he himself is a former player from nearby Saguro High School.
As Dampier spent time with his brothers and their teammates, he felt inspired to contribute to the school’s football program. “North Canyon has difficulty raising money for new equipment,” Dampier noted, emphasizing his desire to uplift the community that helped shape his athletic career.
Dampier’s impact extends beyond his generosity. His leadership on the Utah team has been palpable during spring practice, with coaches praising his work ethic and football IQ. Offensive coordinator Jim Harding described Dampier as a “strong leader and dynamic playmaker,” emphasizing the trust he has built not only with his teammates but also with the entire offensive line.
As Utah prepares for the upcoming season, Dampier’s contributions—both on and off the field—highlight his dedication to the sport and his commitment to giving back to the community that raised him. His leadership is expected to be a key element in the Utes’ strategy as they aim for a successful season ahead.
