Former #1 overall pick in the 2001 NFL Draft Michael Vick has been hired as Head Coach of Norfolk State University. NSU is an HBCU in the Division I MEAC Conference.
Vick chose to stay in his home state of Virginia instead coaching at Sacramento State University. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported SSU was willing to upgrade facilities, have a $50 Million NIL fund, and apply to move up from FCS to FBS.
