Detroit Lions rookie Christian Mahogany is seeking help from fans to make the best out of a tragedy.

He may be a “dirtbag” on the field, but Detroit Lions rookie guard Christian Mahogany is seeking to start a life-changing endeavor off the field.

As you may remember from our “Five things to know about Christian Mahogany” piece, the former Boston College offensive lineman lost a close friend of his in 2023. Devin Willock, a close friend and high school teammate of Mahogany’s, died in a car crash just hours after the Georgia football program celebrated a National Championship with a parade.

Earlier this year, Mahogany launched a GoFundMe in an effort to establish a scholarship in Willock’s name.

“In remembrance of Devin’s extraordinary life, The Devin Willock Legacy Scholarship Award is dedicated to helping students in financial need through a scholarship program for residents of the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area,” the GoFundMe reads.

“The scholarship will serve as a platform for aspiring individuals to pursue their dreams, mirroring Devin’s commitment to excellence. We encourage prospective applicants to sign up, as we are in the process of creating a meaningful review system that ensures the fund benefits those who embody the qualities Devin exemplified.”

As of this publication, the GoFundMe account has raised over $2,700, but Mahogany is hoping Lions fans can push this much closer to their goal of $45,000.

If you’re able to help out, you can donate to Mahogany’s GoFundMe right here. If you don’t have the disposable income, consider just sharing the fundraiser on social media.
