Since 1981, the Ufer Award has been presented annually to a Letterwinners M Club member in recognition of their outstanding service to the University of Michigan and the Letterwinners M Club.

An NCAA finalist, three-time NCAA qualifier at 167 pounds and two-year team captain while Michigan, Amine transitioned to the financial services industry after college -- and currently manages Wealth Strategies Financial Group -- while continuing to coach, mentor and hire wrestlers within the community.
He served on the Letterwinners M Club board from 2000-10 -- as president in 2010 -- and is one of the patriarchs of Michigan wrestling's expansive Amine family, which also includes his brother Sam (1988-90), sons Malik (2016-19) and Myles (2017-19, '21-22) and nephews Jordan (2015-18) and Cameron (2021-present).
