Gunna to partner with NFL stars Laremy Tunsil and Charles Omenihu to host free youth empowerment camp in Texas

Gunna partners with NFL stars for youth empowerment camp

On Saturday, June 21, the city of Frisco, Texas will host an event that blends sports, music, and purpose in a way that’s anything but ordinary. NFL powerhouses Laremy Tunsil and Charles Omenihu are teaming up with Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist Gunna to launch a free Youth Football & Empowerment Camp, offering 130 local youth a full afternoon of athletic training, life skills mentorship, and interactive experiences.

Therefore, the event is being held at 3800 Gaylord Pkwy Ste 120, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., in partnership with Distinctly HIS Ministries, a Dallas-based nonprofit known for its commitment to faith-based youth empowerment.

More Than Football: A Purpose-Driven Experience

While the name might suggest it’s just about the game, this camp offers much more than football drills. It’s a comprehensive, immersive day focused on personal development, resilience, and creating a sense of purpose for youth who may lack access to such opportunities.

Participants will receive:

• Elite football instruction led by NFL stars
• Exclusive gear, including branded T-shirts, cleats, and other swag
• A gaming tournament hosted by the Ultimate Endgamers League (UEL)
• A Q&A session where Gunna, Tunsil, and Omenihu will speak candidly about mental health, adversity, and motivation
• Workshops focused on life skills, identity, goal-setting, and emotional well-being
• Surprise celebrity guests and live giveaways

Why This Camp Matters

Many youth sports camps focus only on physical development. This one is different. It’s built around the belief that young people need both strong bodies and strong minds to succeed—not just on the field, but in life.

“This camp is about planting seeds—in football, in life, and in purpose,” said Laremy Tunsil, offensive tackle for the Houston Texans. “If we can be a source of inspiration and opportunity for these kids, even just for a day, that impact can last a lifetime.”

That sentiment is echoed by Charles Omenihu, a standout defensive lineman for the Kansas City Chiefs, who sees the camp as an investment in the community.

“We’re not just showing them what’s possible,” Omenihu said. “We’re helping them believe they can get there too.”

From the Gridiron to the Mic: Gunna Gets Personal

Gunna’s presence adds a powerful cultural element to the event. Known for his chart-topping albums and philanthropic work, Gunna has made it his mission to give back to underserved communities. Through his nonprofit Gunna’s Great Giveaway, the rapper funds resource distribution programs, guaranteed income pilots, and events like this camp.

“This camp teaches more than football—it builds a mindset,” Gunna said. “It’s about showing up for yourself and your future. It’s about pushing through every challenge and never quitting.”

His presence at the camp is expected to resonate deeply with youth, especially those facing adversity, economic hardship, or mental health struggles.

Game Meets Game: The Rise of Holistic Youth Training

Moreover, a standout feature of the event is a competitive gaming tournament, hosted by Ultimate Endgamers League (UEL). Known for redefining esports as more than entertainment, UEL champions mental agility, teamwork, and resilience—qualities just as vital in life as in sports.

“We’re leading an esports revolution—shaping a competitive ecosystem that goes beyond gaming to develop complete, high-performing individuals,” said Dr. Alyse Munoz, Chief Wellness Officer at UEL. “When young performers train their minds with the same intensity as their bodies, they unlock the resilience, focus, and balance needed to truly excel.”

This crossover between sports and esports signals a shift in youth engagement, where mental health and digital literacy are being treated as essential tools for success.
