Villanova will reportedly get a new training center, courtesy of its NFL Hall of Fame alumnus.

Howie Long and his wife Diane reportedly donated $1 million to Wildcats athletics to build the Howie Long Strength Training Center, according to NFL Network's Gil Brandt.

Long was a four-year letterman at Villanova, beginning his college career as a tight end, but moved to defensive end. He also ran track and boxed, earning the Northern Collegiate Heavyweight Boxing Champion title.
