Two Legends Adrian Peterson and Trent Williams Just Delivered a Power Play — Donates Three Jaw-Dropping Luxury Buses and $78 million to Oklahoma Sooners! “We Built This Legacy”
In an awe-inspiring act of generosity and commitment to legacy, NFL icons Adrian Peterson and Trent Williams have once again proven that their hearts are just as massive as their football resumes. The two Oklahoma Sooners legends stunned the college football world this week by donating a jaw-dropping $78 million and three custom-built luxury buses to the University of Oklahoma football program. This historic gift is being hailed as a “power play” not just for its magnitude, but for the message it sends about loyalty, pride, and investing in the future.
“This is more than just a donation,” Peterson told a packed crowd during a press conference at the Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. “It’s a promise — to the past, the present, and the future. We built this legacy, and we’re not done building.”
Peterson, a Heisman finalist and one of the greatest running backs in college and NFL history, was joined on stage by Trent Williams, a multiple-time Pro Bowl left tackle and fellow Sooner alum. Together, the duo recalled their formative years in Norman, emphasizing how the university not only gave them a platform to shine but shaped them as men.
The donation includes $78 million earmarked for upgrading training facilities, player wellness centers, recruitment infrastructure, and NIL support services — ensuring the Sooners remain competitive at the highest levels of college football. The three luxury buses, which are expected to become the new face of team transportation, are custom-designed with high-end features like massage chairs, recovery pods, smart nutrition bars, digital film rooms, and even team branding embedded in the LED lighting.
“These buses are rolling temples of preparation,” Williams joked. “We want every Sooner player to feel like royalty — because when you feel respected and valued, you play like a champion.”
University officials were visibly emotional as they accepted the gift, calling it the largest and most transformational in the history of Oklahoma athletics. “Adrian and Trent have just raised the bar for what legacy really means,” said athletic director Joe Castiglione. “They’ve always represented the university with class, excellence, and pride. Today, they’ve given back in a way that will echo through generations.”
Social media erupted within minutes of the announcement. Former players, recruits, and fans across the nation expressed admiration, with hashtags like #SoonerLegacy, #BuiltByOU, and #PetersonWilliamsPowerPlay trending on X and Instagram.
For Peterson and Williams, however, the move isn’t about trends or headlines.
“It’s about purpose,” said Peterson. “Oklahoma isn’t just where we played. It’s where we learned to lead, to fight, and to dream big. These buses, this investment — it’s our way of saying thank you. And it’s our way of saying, let’s go win.”
With this bold gesture, the legends have not only given Oklahoma a material boost — they’ve reignited the passion, unity, and ambition that define Sooner football. One thing is certain: the legacy they built is now driving full speed into the future.
