MetLife Stadium will host the highly anticipated 2025 HBCU NY Classic on September 13, featuring a rematch between Morehouse College and Howard University.

Local fans from Parsippany-Troy Hills, located just 26 miles away, are expected to show substantial support for their teams. Morehouse's defense, anchored by First-Team All-SIAC selection Caleb Grant, will be crucial in containing Howard's multi-faceted offense led by running back Jarett Hunter.
