The Steelers joined the NFL in recognizing USA Football Month with activities during Sunday's preseason game against the Packers, focusing on the game's future players.

The Steelers continue to promote USA Football's Heads Up Football, a nationwide program focused on safety in all levels of the game, starting with the youngest players. More than 5,500 youth football leagues across the country participate in Heads Up Football, reaching the high school level this year.  

Among the features during the game to highlight USA Youth Football Month are the following:

  • Dick's Sporting Goods Youth Football game played at halftime between Northern Catholic Wolverines and Fox Chapel Guyasuta
  • Youth Color Guard from Connellsville Area High School JROTC
  • In-stadium banners
  • Field stencils
  • Helmet stickers

The scholarship, which is funded through the Gatorade/Steelers 5K race, is awarded to three local high school students, two to graduating seniors from Perry through the Pittsburgh Promise and one from North Catholic High School.

This year's winners, who will each receive a $12,000 scholarship, are Samantha Morgan, Perry High School, who will pursue nursing at CCAC; Thomas Graham, Perry High School, who will attend Indiana University of Pennsylvania to study biology for pre-medicine; and Maria Meyer, Cardinal Wuerl Northern Catholic, will attend Boston College to study biology to purse medicine as well.
