Baltimore Raven and former Statesboro High and University of Georgia football player DeAngelo Tyson speaks to students at Langston Chapel Middle School about perseverance and making the best of life. Tyson was in town over the week raising money to reopen a boys' home in Statesboro.
Former Joseph’s Home for Boys resident and current Baltimore Raven NFL player DeAngelo Tyson returned to his hometown this week to tackle an issue very close to his heart. Less than a year ago, Tyson officially announced the formation of The Tyson Foundation with a mission “to serve youth, young athletes and teenage mothers through support and opportunities that will empower them to unlock their own personal potential.” In practical terms for the Statesboro community, Tyson’s ultimate goal is to reopen a boys’ home in Statesboro and fundraising for that effort took place this week with a dinner and auction Thursday evening and a golf tournament on Friday.
