Inspiring Change. Empowering Communities.
Through mentorship, education, and outreach, we’re building opportunities for the next generation.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba grew up in Rockwall, Texas, guided by big dreams, relentless drive, and a belief in family. After record-breaking performances in high school and college, he was selected 20th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. Throughout it all, success has never changed his purpose.
Inspired by his family’s example of service, Jaxon founded the Smith-Njigba Family Foundation to give back to the communities that shaped him. Through mentorship, education, and outreach, the foundation empowers youth and families to build brighter futures, together.
