PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — An Eagles player known for delivering sacks is now granting scholarships at a Philadelphia high school.<\/p>\n

Jalyx Hunt joined the roster in 2024 and recorded a big-game sack before becoming Super Bowl champion.<\/p>\n

Today, he surprised students at Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls<\/a> with the news that he’d be funding scholarships for students in the present and future.<\/p>\n

Little Flower has been an institution in Philadelphia since 1939.<\/p>\n

The first student to be chosen for a scholarship, Laniah Brooks, will have tuition covered for her junior and senior year.<\/p>\n

“I’m never letting this go,” said Brooks.<\/p>\n

Her father, Rodney, said it was one of the best days of his life.<\/p>\n

“I’m a single dad,” he said, noting that Laniah is his youngest. “My wife is no longer with us, so this really helps us.”<\/p>\n

The other two scholarships will be full four-year rides to incoming freshmen next year.<\/p>\n

Finally, Hunt also established an endowment at the school.<\/p>\n

Each scholarship and the endowment is named after a woman who made a difference in Hunt’s life.<\/p>\n
