Criterion staff report

Students and staff of Cardinal Ritter Jr./Sr. High School in Indianapolis surprised and welcomed Kenny Moore II of the Indianapolis Colts on Dec. 5, the day when it was announced that he was the team’s nominee for the 2024 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.

A statement from the Colts noted, “This year, Moore began a partnership with Cardinal Ritter High School. A fixture on the school’s campus over the last few months, Moore provides continual support to keep the children at the grades 7-12 school locked in on their education. Moore also hosted a back-to-school event this summer and was an honorary captain for a Cardinal Ritter football game on Oct. 11.”

Cardinal Ritter’s president Jo Hoy shared this tribute about Moore: “Kenny is an exceptional young man. The messages that he delivers to our students about their education is priceless. He has been on the sidelines at many of our games. His foundation has provided us with opportunities that all of our students have benefited from.”
