Maxx Crosby Named Assistant General Manager for EMU Football

Exciting news for EMU Football fans! Maxx Crosby, one of the most dominant defensive players in the NFL, has taken on a key role as Assistant General Manager for EMU Football. In this position, Maxx will help evaluate high school and transfer portal prospects, assist in managing the team’s budget, and negotiate student-athlete contracts. He’ll also play a vital role in fundraising, alumni relations, and supporting student-athletes as a Special Assistant to the Athletic Director.

Maxx is challenging the entire EMU community to step up and support EMU Football. From April 11th to May 31st, Maxx will personally match every donation to EMU Football up to $100,000!

Why Maxx Crosby’s Impact is Unmatched:

• A Generous Champion for EMU: In 2023, Maxx Crosby made an incredible $1 million donation to EMU Athletics, which led to the football field at Rynearson Stadium being renamed “Crosby Field” in his honor.
• A Career Defined by Excellence: Maxx became the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history when he signed his contract extension. At EMU, he left an indelible mark with 20.0 career sacks, 41.0 tackles for loss (ranking third in school history), and a tied single-season sack record of 11 in 2017.
• Dominating the NFL: In six seasons with the Raiders, Maxx recorded 364 tackles (232 solo), 105 tackles for loss, 59.5 sacks, 23 passes defended, nine forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries.
• The “Condor”: Known for his jaw-dropping 81-inch wingspan, Maxx quickly became one of the most dominant defensive players in the NFL after being drafted by the Raiders in 2019. By 2024, he had earned his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl selection, solidifying his place as one of the best defensive linemen in the league.

Maxx Crosby’s impact extends far beyond the field, and now he’s using his success to give back to EMU Football.
