Steelers Le'Veon Bell to have high school stadium named after him

Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell has donated $750,000 to his high school for new turf at its football stadium.

Bell graduated from Groveport-Madison High School in Groveport, Ohio, before playing college football at Michigan State. The Steelers drafted Bell in second round of the 2013 draft.

The donation will also create "Bell's Boys Initiatives," a program designed to teach kids sportsmanship and leadership.

"This is an incredible gift to the Groveport Madison Schools community," said superintendent Bruce Hoover. "Le'Veon and his mother, Lisa, give credit to many people at GMHS, most particularly to coach Bryan Schoonover, for helping Le'Veon during his high school years.
