NOXUBEE COUNTY, Miss (WCBI) – The Noxubee community beat the heat at the Jeffery Simmons Fun Day and Fire Works event.
The Professional football player for the Tennesse Titans put it on as a way to give back to his hometown.
Simmons was even presented a key to the city as a thank-you for his dedication and service to Macon.
The football player says he looks to inspire the local youth to chase after the dreams they have.
“That’s the reason I come back. They know I went to the same head start they went to, the same elementary they went to, the Middle school they went to, to high school. That’s my message to them. If I can do it why not you? I think when I talk about our youth getting out of the streets and staying out of the streets and staying in school. That’s what I want to see when I come back,”
Simmons says he has more plans for the future to continue to give back to his hometown.
