BREAKING: Ole Miss QB Austin Simmons Donates Entire $20 Million Signing Bonus and Sponsorship Earnings to Homeless Charities
In an era where NIL money is reshaping college football, Ole Miss Rebels star quarterback Austin Simmons has stunned the nation—again—but this time, it’s not with his arm. It’s with his heart.
On Monday morning, Simmons announced he has donated his entire $20 million in signing bonuses and sponsorship earnings to support charities and organizations aiding the homeless, sparking a wave of admiration across the sports world.
> “Millions of people are facing hardship every day — families without shelter, kids going hungry, veterans lacking the help they need,” Simmons said during an emotional press conference. “I could easily be one of them… This is bigger than football.”
The move has sent shockwaves throughout the NCAA and beyond. At just 20 years old, Simmons is showing the nation what true leadership looks like off the field. Sources close to the quarterback said the decision wasn’t sudden — Simmons has quietly supported local shelters and food banks since high school, and this bold donation was something he’d planned if given the opportunity.
Fans, athletes, and coaches have flooded social media with praise. “He’s not just the face of Ole Miss football,” one SEC insider tweeted, “he’s the face of what’s right with this generation.”
In a time when most headlines center on stats, transfers, and dollar signs, Austin Simmons just gave us a reason to believe in college football again—not just for the plays he makes on Saturdays, but for the lives he’s changing every day.
