Sherrone Moore Celebrates as Charles Woodson Pledges $6 Million to Michigan Football Program
Ann Arbor, MI – Michigan Wolverines head football coach Sherrone Moore was all smiles on Monday as former Michigan great and NFL Hall of Famer Charles Woodson announced a groundbreaking $6 million donation to the university’s football program.
Woodson, a Heisman Trophy winner in 1997 and one of the most decorated players in college football history, made the pledge to support the program that launched his storied career. The gift, among the largest ever from a former player to Michigan Athletics, will go toward enhancing facilities, supporting player development, and strengthening recruiting efforts.
“I’ve always said Michigan gave me everything—on and off the field,” Woodson shared during a press conference at Schembechler Hall. “This is my way of giving back and ensuring that future Wolverines have the same opportunities I had.”
Coach Moore expressed deep gratitude for the donation, calling it a testament to the strong bond between Michigan football and its alumni. “Charles is the epitome of what it means to be a Michigan Man,” Moore said. “This gift will have a lasting impact on our program and the young men who represent the maize and blue.”
The donation will specifically fund upgrades to the Wolverines’ football performance center, improve nutrition and recovery facilities, and create scholarships for student-athletes pursuing post-graduate degrees.
Woodson’s generosity underscores his ongoing commitment to the university. A frequent presence at games and events, he has often spoken about his pride in the program’s legacy. “Michigan is family,” Woodson said. “And family takes care of each other.”
The Wolverines, coming off a strong season under Moore’s leadership, are poised to benefit greatly from this significant investment as they continue to compete at the highest levels of college football.
