SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – As the University of Utah football team takes on The University of Oregon football team today all the players on the field will join forces to honor one person: Lauren McCluskey.
Both teams will wear decals on their helmets during Saturday’s game at Rice-Eccles Stadium as a tribute to the slain U senior.
McCluskey, who was also an athlete on the U’s track team, was gunned down on campus on October 22, 2018.
The Ducks’ equipment team tweeted about joining forces with the Utes’ equipment team to honor McCluskey.
