247Sports recently reported that Texas football’s Trevor Goosby is playing a role in helping raise funding to combat childhood heart disease. The offensive lineman’s mission to give back draws from his own bout with Atrial Septal Defect, or ASD, which is defined as a congenital heart defect that increases the amount of blood flowing through the lungs and causes symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath and irregular heartbeat.

Goosby underwent open heart surgery at age 16.

“It just means everything,” Goosby said, according to 247Sports. “Just because of, I guess I would say, how successful I’ve been — I’m a humble guy, so I don’t like to talk about it too much. But, just being able to use my platform for good and use my platform to bring awareness to things like this, stuff that isn’t talked about as much.”
