Georgia Tech Athletics and the PeyBack Foundation, the charitable organization founded by Peyton Manning and his wife, Ashley, announced the Demaryius A. Thomas scholarship endowment Wednesday. The scholarship is named after Manning’s former Broncos teammate and former Georgia Tech wideout Demaryius Thomas, who died of a seizure in December at 33 years old.
“Demaryius Thomas was an incredibly talented and unselfish teammate, but more importantly, he was a special person and friend,” Manning said in the release. “My family and I miss him dearly, and we wanted to honor D.T.’s memory by partnering the PeyBack Foundation with Georgia Tech to establish the Demaryius A. Thomas Scholarship Endowment.
