New Cowboys offensive tackle Ty Nsekhe signed with the team only this past March, and he is already looking to make a big impact.
Next month, Nsekhe will host a free football camp for youths at James Bowie High School, which also happens to be his alma mater! After a stellar career with the Volunteers, Nsekhe went on to play collegiately at Texas State.
Nsekhe knows the value of sports in kids' lives, and wants to make sure as many as possible can attend. He told NBC DFW, "It brings me joy to see the smiles on these kids' faces. They are like star-struck when they see me and my fellow NFL athletes. It's amazing. Once upon a time, I used to be that kid. So just to reflect and see that on their face, that brings a light to my heart."
The camp is open for boys and girl aged 6 to 18, and will not only provide a lesson in football, but real-life lessons as well. Nsekhe says, "We have the Arlington Police Department come out and speak and get them introduced with how police interact with the community. I think that's so important right now with all of the things that we are hearing about law enforcement in the community."
Nsekhe is hosting the camp through his Ty Nsekhe Foundation. He founded the organization in 2017 in order to "empower and enhance the lives of youth through mentorship, scholarships and programs designed to inspire and motivate young people to believe in themselves and work hard to achieve their academic, athletic and career goals."
Registration deadline for the free football camp is Wednesday, June 16, or until the camp is full.
