Alum Jacob Rainey to Hike Mt. Kilimanjaro

Jacob and a mix of 12 mostly NFL and military vets, will be hiking Mount Kilimanjaro in February to raise funds to dig additional wells for communities in need in the region. He will be part of the 2026 Conquering Kilimanjaro team, which is the 10th hike arranged by the Waterboys Foundation, founded by Chris Long, NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year in 2018 and 2X Super Bowl Champion.

Jacob said, "There have been some above the knee amputees to summit Kili, but not many, so it will be a great challenge." Part of his training for the hike was done in the Dolomites of Italy last September with his wife.
