Clifford Omoruyi is one of the stars of the Rutgers men’s basketball program. After leading the entire country in rim-rattling dunks, he is poised to be a leader for coach Steve Pikiell’s program this season on the court, but he’s making a bigger impact off the court to start the off-season.
Rutgers Nation‼️ 4/18-4/22, I will be hosting a Shoe Drive to benefit those in need in my home country of Nigeria.
Donate any gently worn shoes to the RWJ Barnabas APC at Rutgers University. There will be boxes set up in the APC lobby from 9am-5pm each of those days. Go RU!🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/9aGDgzVBik

Omoruyi has set up a shoe drive on Rutgers’ campus that goes the rest of this week. Daily, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., you can bring lightly worn shoes to campus and drop them off at the RWJBH Athletic Performance Center lobby, located next to Jersey Mike’s Arena. Shoes will be donated to Omoruyi’s hometown of Benin City, Nigeria.
Cliff Omoruyi’s shoe drive to benefit those in need in Nigeria is going well, to say the least. Drive lasts until Friday and there will be a bin set up at the spring game at SHI Stadium pic.twitter.com/vrrJZ4FTO1

The early donations to the shoe drive have been strong. Omoruyi and Rutgers will be also be accepting donations at SHI Stadium before and during the Rutgers Football Spring Game on April 22. Omoruyi was named Honorable Mention All-Big Ten this past season, as well as Big Ten Sportsmanship Honoree. His charitable endeavor shows that he is just as strong-willed off the court as he is on.
