Ryan Seacrest's High School to Name Football Stadium After Star Following Donation

Prominent television host Ryan Seacrest is receiving a unique honor from his former high school.

Dunwoody High School, Seacrest's alma mater, announced Monday that its new football stadium will be called Seacrest Stadium in honor of the 50-year-old and his family (via Bruce Feldman of The Athletic).

Seacrest previously made a donation to the school so that construction of the stadium can begin in the spring, per Feldman.

He played on Dunwoody's football team during his high school days, helping the school capture the 1992 AAAA Regional Championship in Georgia.

David Kelly, Seacrest's former coach, described his physical playing style.

"He was feisty," Kelly said, per Feldman. "He'd knock the crap out of people."

Seacrest also presented the morning announcements for the school.

After graduating, he gained popularity as an Emmy-winning television host, radio personality and executive producer for shows including American Idol and Wheel of Fortune.
