He is about to play his first season of college football at the University of Alabama as a five-star freshman, but Jaylen Mbakwe is forever an ambassador of Clay-Chalkville High School.
Mbakwe led the Cougars to a Class 6A State Championship last season and decided to give back to the youth in a special way.

According to Stuart Floyd, the athletics director at Clay-Chalkville, Mbakwe bought every member of this year’s football team for the Cougars a copy of Electronic Arts Sports College Football 25.
Everyone was excited to have the game, but more thankful to Mbakwe for showing up and showing out. He loved every opportunity the Cougars gave him and wanted to give back.
