Jake Ferguson, Tight End

Since being drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 2022, tight end Jake Ferguson has made it a priority to honor, empower, and connect service members, veterans, and their families throughout the year. Ferguson pays tribute to the sacrifices of National Medal of Honor recipients by actively supporting the National Medal of Honor Museum (NMOHM) and its mission to inspire future generations of character-driven leaders. He also partners with USAA to visit local military bases and spend meaningful time with those currently serving.

Through his Salute to Service efforts, Ferguson seeks to empower youth by sharing the values rooted in military service. In 2024, he joined NMOHM President and CEO Chris Cassidy, Medal of Honor recipient and retired U.S. Navy SEAL Master Chief Britt Slabinski, and Washington Commanders legend Josh Morgan for a national Character Playbook LIVE event at AT&T Stadium. The event welcomed 900 students in person and thousands more virtually for a powerful discussion on commitment. Ferguson is set to participate in a similar event, continuing his dedication to service and leadership.
