Peyton Manning and his wife Ashley teamed up with Georgia Tech to offer a scholarship in memory of his former Broncos teammate Demaryius Thomas who passed away in December.
The Mannings’ PeyBack Foundation established the Demaryius A. Thomas Scholarship Endowment, which will provide for academic scholarships to Georgia Tech for incoming freshman from Thomas’s home county of Laurens County, Ga. And other nearby areas where students need financial help to go to college.
“Demaryius Thomas was an incredibly talented and unselfish teammate, but more importantly, he was a special person and friend,” Peyton Manning said in a statement. “…An important part of Demaryius’ legacy was the way he inspired the next generation to pursue their dreams with the same perseverance and determination that defined him.
Georgia Tech football will wear a No. 8 helmet decal this year and will have a memorial painted on the field for their home games.
