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, will be 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 Saints, and his motto of “Keep Pounding” is featured prominently inside the Panzer Athletic Fitness Center.


Head Coach Rick Giancola:

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.
