Alabama Crimson Tide stars C.J. Mosley and Amari Cooper have jointly announced a multi-million dollar endowment to the University of Alabama’s men’s football program. The gift, focused on supporting youth development initiatives and player resources, underscores their commitment to giving back to the school that shaped their illustrious careers.

C.J. Mosley, the 2011 Mr. Football Alabama winner and a defensive standout who earned All-American honors at Alabama, teamed up with Amari Cooper, the Biletnikoff Award-winning receiver and unanimous All-American. Both NFL veterans, now retired after decorated pro careers, have chosen to invest significantly in the future of Crimson Tide football.

The endowment will fund youth outreach programs, scholarship opportunities, and developmental training for young athletes aspiring to play at the collegiate level, helping bridge the gap for underprivileged talent while enhancing the program’s recruiting and community impact.

This philanthropic move further cements Mosley and Cooper’s legacies with the Crimson Tide, where they contributed to national championship contenders under Nick Saban. Their on-field excellence translated to NFL success, with Mosley becoming a multiple-time Pro Bowler and Cooper amassing over 10,000 receiving yards.

The announcement has resonated deeply within the Alabama fanbase and the broader college football community, highlighting how former players can sustain program excellence through meaningful contributions beyond their playing days.

By prioritizing youth development, Mosley and Cooper’s endowment not only bolsters the Crimson Tide’s future but also inspires current and future athletes to embrace leadership, gratitude, and the spirit of paying it forward in the storied tradition of Roll Tide.
