Salesian High School held its 15th Salesian Gala on Saturday night, with defensive back Deommodore Lenoir from the San Francisco 49ers and a Salesian graduate being honored.<\/p>\n

\"Deommodore <\/p>\n

Deommodore Lenoir of Salesian in 2016. Now he\u2019s NFL defensive back for 49ers.<\/p>\n

(Eric Sondheimer \/ Los Angeles Times)<\/p>\n

Lenoir used Salesian as a key path to playing college football at Oregon and then the NFL. He received a $92 million contract extension in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrowing up in South Los Angeles taught me a lot,\u201d he said in 2016.<\/a> \u201cIt taught me to stay focused in order to be able to go where I want to go, and that\u2019s to the NFL. You have to stay in the classroom and do what you\u2019re told to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s come back to Salesian to offer a message of hope and hard work. <\/p>\n
