Frank "Muddy" Waters Football Locker Room

In January of 2007, new lockers were installed in the Hillsdale College football locker room.  Thanks to a major leadership donation from Charger football alum Joseph M. Vijuk and a number of generous donations from alumni and friends of the Charger football program, the new lockers were installed in what is now known as the Frank "Muddy" Waters Football Locker Room.  The removal of the old blue lockers began in November, 2006.  View photo gallery.
