LAW DAWG
TSU LOVE
The founder of the program, former ten-year NFL veteran and three-time Super Bowl champion, with the 49ers, Riki Ellison, stated, "This program was put in place here at TSU and with their student-athletes to focus on directly addressing one of our nation's 'at risk' inner city youth populations from within their own community. It is the first time we have used a historically black university as we believe our program and idea cannot and should not be limited to larger universities with ample facilities and resources."
Teachers from Houston area public school districts participated alongside current Texas Southern University student-athletes in this academic experience that impacted and assisted the 'at risk' youth from Houston. The camp ran from July 16th through August 3rd."
Riki Ellison also commented that, "The Youth Impact Program, now in its eighth year, is also one of the first in the nation to lead a proactive focus on preventative concussion training with proper use and technique of contact in football for young boys entering the game for the first time. The football instructors, who also mentor the youth's academics, are current Texas Southern football players who have all received certification for Concussion Prevention Training by USA Football and the NFL."
