Former Pioneer donates $10,000 to youth football league in Boonville
BONVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) — It was a time to reminisce at Boonville High School for former Pioneer and current Purdue Boilermaker running back Devin Mockobee. He stopped by for a meet-and-greet to meet fans and family and also give back to the program where he got his start.
The former Pioneer made a $10,000 donation to the youth football league in Boonville.
'That's just the kind of kid he is, he's humble, he's hardworking, and he's a great representation for us,' Boonville Athletic Director Kevin Davis said.
Mockobee's start in the Boonville Youth Football League would translate to a historic career for the Pioneers, the chance to play for the Purdue Boilermakers and the opportunity to give back to the program that started it all.
'That fostered my love for football and it led me to where I am today,' Mockobee said. 'I wanted to give something back to the kids to be able to get them new gear new this or that so that they can maximize their experience with it so they can love the game as much as I did.'
