K.J. Osborn left Ypsilanti Lincoln High after his junior season to continue his football career at powerhouse IMG Academy in Florida and since hasn't returned to full-time residency in Michigan.
When the wide receiver was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the fifth round of this year's NFL draft, however, he knew his calling was to give back to his hometown amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Osborn donated a portion of his signing bonus to purchase 600 bottles of hand sanitizer, which he gave away Wednesday to families in the Lincoln community.
