OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti had been searching for a way to properly salute Ozzie Newsome since he stepped down as the team's general manager three years ago.
Bisciotti came up with an idea that not only impacts the lives of Baltimore students but also touches on Newsome's childhood.
Bisciotti told ESPN that he and his wife are making a $4 million gift in Newsome's name to Maryland's historically Black colleges and universities. The Ozzie Newsome Scholars Program will fund scholarships for Baltimore City Public Schools graduates who attend an HBCU in Maryland.
