Justin Jefferson Gives Back to His Community with Under Armour Youth Football Clinic at Destrehan High School

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver and Under Armour athlete Justin Jefferson returned to his alma mater, Destrehan High School, on Thursday, February 6, to host a community event designed to inspire and empower the next generation of athletes.

The event brought together 100 middle school students, aged 10–13, from four local schools for an unforgettable afternoon filled with excitement, learning, and community. The schedule included the latest Under Armour product for students, a football clinic led by USA Football, including U.S. National Team QB Darrell “Housh” Doucette and fellow Destrehan alum and NFL Legend Ed Reed, and a special surprise and delight moment where Jefferson personally handed out custom gear to each participant. The day wrapped up with dinner, food trucks, a live DJ, and branded giveaways. 

The event underscored Under Armour’s commitment to breaking down barriers that prevent youth from engaging in sports. From the rookies to the seasoned veterans, Under Armour has always put the athlete first, inspiring them with performance solutions they didn't know they needed and can’t imagine living without.

From its origins on the field to today, the brand has demonstrated its focus on making athletes better, meeting real needs with innovative performance solutions that enhance each competitor's ability to perform.

Through initiatives like this, Jefferson, Under Armour and USA Football are working together to inspire young athletes and demonstrate that everyone deserves the chance to play, compete, and grow through the power of sport.
