SAN JOSE — A decade ago, Stephen Anderson stepped foot on the football field at Piedmont Hills High School as a 5-foot-9, 165-pound freshman.

The 25-year-old returned to his alma mater last month as a 6-2, 230-pound tight end for the Houston Texans to host the inaugural football camp for his Elevate Our Youth Foundation.

“Me being able to come back and just be face-to-face with these kids, running around with these kids, I think this was very important to show the kids that it is possible,” said Anderson, who donated $10,000 to the school.
