Myles Garrett and the Los Angeles Rams are not having the season they had hoped for. The franchise currently has only four wins and four losses despite having a great roster full of stars. They were labelled as serious contenders for the Super Bowl with additions like Garrett and Aaron Donald’s return.
But Garrett’s season was cut short with an injury in the first game of the season itself. The player once captured attention with a heartfelt action.
Myles Garrett made $25k donation for mother’s legacy
Garrett donated $25,000 to Hampton University on April 28, 2025, during a campus visit that included a leadership panel. The contribution supports student scholarships and athletic programs, specifically funding the Legacy Leaders Scholarship for students focused on education and social justice initiatives, according to the National Hampton Alumni Association.

The gift specifically honors the player’s mother Audrey Garrett who is a Hampton alumna. She attended on a track-and-field scholarship and earned All-American honors. She is a doctoral candidate in strategic leadership at the Southern University Law Center and a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., as reported by Hampton University and Black Enterprise.
Garrett joined Brandon Martin, CEO of Johnson Energy Storage, a company in which Garrett invested in September 2024, for a panel discussion attended by more than 500 students and alumni. The session addressed the value of STEM education and the advantages of pursuing academic interests beyond athletics.
The Rams star had spoken during the discussion, and said, “Always keep pushing — always continue to grow. You are never too young or never too old to grow and learn something new or learn from someone. Mentorship and knowledge come from people young and old. Continue to diversify and pursue things that are authentic to yourself. Love what you do. Find what you are passionate about. Continue to be resilient and curious the rest of the days of your life.”
Myles Garrett continues to be a great person on and off the field.
