Peterson played at OU from 2004-2006 and is the third-leading rusher in school history. He was a first-round draft pick in the 2007 NFL draft when the Minnesota Vikings took him with the seventh overall pick.
Peterson said in a statement released by OU that he had always hoped to donate to OU and that it was a "no-brainer" now that he's established and comfortable enough to make the donation.
