Former UNLV lineman Ammir Aziz uses his experience to block suicide in young people of color through the nonprofit The Defensive Line.
From the article:
“One day after practice, our coaches brought in a little treat for the team to celebrate the last practice of the season. Little did I know it was going to change my life. The coaches brought in a magician from Bally’s to perform for us, and at the end, he asked for a volunteer. He unbuttoned his shirt, and to my surprise, I saw an envelope with my name on it. I opened it, and the whole team erupted with cheers! The paper inside congratulated me on receiving a full-ride scholarship”.
