Nebraska senior punter Sam Foltz and former Michigan State punter Mike Sadler died in a car accident Saturday night while attending a kicking camp in Wisconsin.
Foltz, 22, was the Big Ten punter of the year last season and was on the Ray Guy Award watch list. Sadler, 24, was a four-time Academic All-American during his career with the Spartans.
“Sam was universally loved and respected by everyone he touched and on whom he had a positive influence,” Cornhuskers coach Mike Riley said in a statement.
Riley and Nebraska players will not be attending Big Ten Media Days this week in wake of the tragedy.
Sadler was an immensely popular player with a strong social media following built with consistent humor.
