Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald made a "seven-figure financial commitment" to the Pitt football program on Friday, the school confirmed.
Donald played at Pitt from 2010-13. He was named a consensus All-American in 2013 and won ACC Defensive Player of the Year after tallying 11 sacks and 28.5 tackles for loss. Donald was selected by the Rams in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft.
"It was a dream come true to play for the University of Pittsburgh," Donald said in a statement. "My experience as a Panther is something that influences my life every day and I want to pay that forward.
