NORFOLK, Va. — Taylor Heinicke, former Old Dominion University quarterback who "put [ODU] football on the national map", has donated $250,000 to the Monarch's Athletic Foundation.
According to ODU Sports, the money donated by Heinicke is being used to help pay for a $3.5 million football locker room overhaul. The locker room has been named in his honor.
"I wanted to give back to the University that made everything in my professional career possible," Heinicke said. "
Old Dominion has given me so much throughout my life. Every time I come back to the Norfolk-Virginia Beach area I feel like I'm home. Everyone at ODU treats me so well. It feels like a part of my family."
