Foundation Founder
Byron Murphy II is a remarkable individual who has overcome adversity and dedicated himself to making a positive impact in his community. Born and raised in Desoto, TX, Byron’s journey began in a close-knit family where he developed a strong sense of resilience and determination from an early age.
During his collegiate years, Byron excelled both academically and athletically, earning a scholarship to play college football for the University of Texas. As a standout player, he demonstrated exceptional talent and leadership on the field, earning recognition and respect from teammates and coaches alike.
However, it was a tragic event that would profoundly shape Byron’s life and inspire him to pursue a greater purpose. The loss of his beloved uncle to an opioid overdose deeply affected Byron, igniting a passion within him to raise awareness and take action against the opioid crisis plaguing communities across the country.
In response to this tragedy, Byron founded the B2TYMES Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to combating the opioid crisis through education, prevention, and support services. With unwavering determination and a commitment to making a difference, Byron and his team have worked tirelessly to provide resources and assistance to those affected by addiction.
Despite the challenges he faced, Byron’s perseverance and dedication did not go unnoticed. In the 2024 NFL Draft, Byron Murphy II’s exceptional talent and character caught the attention of the Seattle Seahawks, who recruited him as a professional football player.
