Danny has been a terrific advocate for free naloxone access on his campus, and we're not surprised by this honor.
We're proud to have Danny as a student-athlete ambassador and congratulate him on this incredible honor!
Congratulations to Danny Okoye for being named to the 2025 SEC Football Community Service Team!
HarborPath has partnered with Danny and @OU_Athletics on a social media awareness campaign to protect OU students from overdose and fentanyl poisoning.
Through a new partnership with nonprofit @HarborPathRx, OU athletes are raising awareness about fentanyl and helping students find free naloxone on campus.

1 in 10? Way too low. @HarborpathRx works with state governments and other nonprofits to help make naloxone widely available among vulnerable populations.
"I'm used to writing about things where we can't cure... things we can't fix... But this one, this we can do... Give the people Naloxone..."

I encourage you to take a moment to go through this visual storytelling piece — it captures the urgency of this crisis in a way that words alone often cannot.

🧵The fentanyl crisis is claiming far too many lives, and spreading awareness is our first line of defense. This powerful animation article from @SteveBreen100 illustrates the devastating impact of illicit fentanyl, especially on young people.

.@BrianMannADK reports for NPR that all states have seen a reduction in fentanyl deaths. Experts credit the wide availability of naloxone, in part, for the reduction. The fight is not over! State abatement commissions need to continue to make naloxone widely available.
Opioid deaths among Blacks and Hispanics have surged 200% since 2019 in Mecklenburg County North Carolina.
These data published in @axioscharlotte reflect a clear trend being seen all over. The opioid epidemic remains prevalent among communities of color.
A bill with bipartisan support now aims to increase that to 25% - a common-sense move that could prevent even more tragedies. Naloxone should be everywhere: in schools, universities, workplaces, bars, churches and community centers.

Governor @ChrisSununu in @FoxNews:
"Early in my administration, we decided that if out streets were to be flooded with deadly drugs like fentanyl, we needed to flood them with life-saving opioid reversal medicines."
From Governor @ChrisSununu's Op-Ed on Fox News.
Many thanks. And kudos to the Governor for the progress his state has made in saving lives through innovative treatment programs and life-saving opioid reversal drugs like naloxone.

Former NH Governor @ChrisSununu has a compelling piece over at Fox News in which he encourages states to begin spending their opioid abatement dollars with greater urgency. He describes how his state managed to drastically reduce opioid deaths.

In response to @TheAthletic's story on our partnership with Ole Miss and @jordantwatkins to raise awareness about life saving naloxone, we are seeing so many people who can identify with how deeply personal the opioid epidemic really is. https://t.co/GI6sy1JcCB
Let's commit to saving more lives through the wide availability of opioid reversal agents like naloxone. This comment was made in response to @TheAthletic's piece about @HarborpathRx and @jordantwatkins.

🧵Last week saw encouraging news for efforts to restore communities devastated by the opioid crisis. Purdue Pharma has agreed to increase its contribution to the national opioid settlement, bringing the total to up to $7.4 billion.
