DES MOINES, Iowa (May 28, 2025) – Former Iowa Hawkeye, Odebolt, Iowa native, and Current Philadelphia Eagles CB Cooper DeJean is bringing two major events to his home state this summer – both aimed at giving back and connecting with the community.

On Sunday, June 1, DeJean teams up with Octane Sports to host the Cooper DeJean All-Star Celebrity Softball Game at Principal Park, home of the Iowa Cubs. Fans can catch DeJean throwing out the ceremonial first pitch before the I-Cubs game at 1:08 PM. Gates open at noon, and the Celebrity Softball Game will begin immediately following the conclusion of the I-Cubs game.

Your Iowa Cubs game ticket also grants access to the softball game in the same seat.

DeJean will lead one of the all-star softball teams, with former Iowa teammate and fellow NFL player Riley Moss of Ankeny captaining the other. The rosters include more than 19 current and former professional football players, such as AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, Reed Blankenship, Darius Slay Jr., Jay Higgens, CJ Beathard, Sam Ehlinger, and Dallas Clark, among others.

In addition to the game, fans can bid in a live memorabilia auction featuring game-worn items, signed gear, and unique experiences – including a private hangout and Eagles game tickets with Cooper. Proceeds benefit the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital.

Then, on June 16th, DeJean brings things back to Iowa City for his 2nd Annual Cooper DeJean Youth Football Camp at Kinnick Stadium. From 6:30PM to 9PM, boys and girls entering grades 1-8 will have the chance to run drills, compete in games, and train on the field with DeJean and a team of experienced coaches.
