Khyree Jackson Foundation Launched: Roll Call, April 19, 2025

The Minnesota Vikings officially announced that on Thursday, Khyree Jackson's parents launched the Khyree Jackson Foundation to "inspire the next generation of young athletes and students to use their talents to positively influence their communities."

Jackson, an Alabama football player from 2021-22, tragically passed away in a car accident in July 2024. He was a fourth-round pick by the Vikings in the 2024 NFL Draft.

He had finished out his college career at Oregon, where he received First Team All-Pac 12 honors as a full-time starter. The Ducks made the Pac-12 title game before losing to Kalen DeBoer and Washington.
