Former Marshall standout Vinny Curry has consistently expressed his passion for the university, and the chance it gave him for a college education.
After landing a lucrative contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, he is eager to give back.
Curry is making a $200,000 donation to launch the Vinny Curry Project. Further details will be released Thursday, but Curry gave a statement used in an MU athletic department Twitter message.
“Marshall gave me the opportunity to play football and, most importantly, receive an education,” Curry said. “The $200,000 will help ensure that our football program will continue its winning tradition and endow a scholarship for a Marshall student-athlete in my mother’s name.
