Former South Carolina High School football star Braylon Staley gave back to his community on Friday.

Staley is currently with the Tennessee Volunteers as a wide receiver. Staley was a true freshman this year and will be a red-shirt freshman this coming fall.

Staley plays slot receiver and a little on the outside for the Volunteers and has quickly become a fan favorite. Staley will be competing for the starting job in the slot this year with the Vols.

Staley attended Strom Thurmond High School in his pre-college career. His father (Brian) Staley announced on Friday that the Tennessee WR has donated $6,000.

Staley’s father posted on Twitter to confirm the donation. “Today, Braylon came back to Thurmond to be a blessing because God has blessed him to be just that. Man, when I tell you that you never know who you’re coaching or who’s in your building!! Coaches, we appreciate you guys so much! Luv you guys.”
