Former South Carolina All-American and Super Bowl champion Alshon Jeffery is set to give back to the Palmetto State.

The St. Matthews, SC native will be holding a ‘Back-to-School Bash’ on August 9 at the Calhoun County Sports Complex.

“Come kick off the school year with me at my 2025 Back-to-School Bash,” Jeffery released in a statement to GamecockCentral. “I’ve teamed up with GoodFit Closet for a special day filled with football skills, drills, new backpacks, school supplies, bounce houses, food, and more to help get the year started.”

In 2017, Jeffery held his first free youth football camp and community day at Calhoun County High School. The event drew over 600 campers.

During his three seasons with the Gamecocks, Jeffery racked up 183 catches for 3,042 yards and 23 touchdowns. One of the greatest wideouts in South Carolina history, he ranks third in receptions, second in receiving yards, tied for first in receiving touchdowns, first in 100-yard receiving games (12), sixth in yards per reception (16.6), and third in consecutive games with a reception (36).

As a true freshman in 2009, Jeffery was named consensus Freshman All-SEC and a first-team Freshman All-American. He had a team-high 46 catches for 763 yards and six touchdowns during his first year at Carolina. Against Kentucky in his freshman season, he had seven catches for 138 yards and three touchdowns and was named SEC Freshman of the Week. He followed that up later in the season with eight catches for a season-best 161 yards and a score against Vanderbilt, and five catches for 116 yards and a touchdown against Arkansas.
