Football
The all-time winningest program amongst football teams in New Jersey, the Montclair State football program has a rich tradition. The Red Hawks won the NJAC Championship during the abbreviated Spring 2021 campaign and have played in the NCAA Tournament 10 times. Sam Mills, who was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2009, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as part of their 2022 class on August 6. Mills played professionally with the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers, and his motto of “Keep Pounding” is featured prominently inside the Panzer Athletic Fitness Center.
Head Coach Mike Palazzo:
"We invite all alumni, supporters, and current seniors to honor the football program (or their experience at Montclair State University) with a contribution reflective of his/her graduation year, and share this link with alumni and friends. Giving to the Montclair State University Football program is a meaningful way to support the University and allows future students to benefit from new opportunities and continue the tradition of excellence that is Montclair State University Football, which currently has THE highest win percentage of ANY New Jersey collegiate football program! Gifts can be made as a one-time or recurring donation, weekly, monthly, or quarterly. All gifts make a difference, and gifts of all sizes are encouraged."
Locker Room Naming Campaign
With a gift of $300 towards the football locker room enhancements, we will lift up your legacy by naming a locker for you. This will include your name, class year, position, a photo of you from your playing days, and a small message from you to inspire current team members. This project is open to all constituents, so even if you are not an alum, please consider making a gift, and we will include an agreed-upon photo.
Characters for the message are limited to 100.
Thank you for your consideration. Let’s go Red Hawks!
