The University of Michigan Football program teamed up with the Michigan Army National Guard for a first-of-its-kind NIL event on Friday. Over 100 student-athletes, staff members and assistant coaches were invited to Grand Ledge Armory to get the full experience of being part of the Army National Guard. 

After a phenomenal briefing by Major General Paul D. Rogers, the student athletes were allowed to participate in weapons training, drive various military vehicles around the base and take a roundtrip flight in military aircraft over Michigan Stadium. 

There was no shortage of incredible moments from Friday and we did our best to capture it all!
