Huskers Unveil Foltz Memorial Plaque

[Mavric]

On Friday, the Nebraska Athletics Department commemorated the life of Sam Foltz by unveiling a memorial plaque that will hang in the west hallway outside the football team’s locker room.

Among the final impressions on players as they begin the famous Tunnel Walk will be a picture of a smiling Foltz, posing in his No. 27 uniform. The layout is adjacent to a revamped mural for the Husker Prayer Wall, which will feature newer images and crisper graphics.

The introduction of the memorial plaque comes two days before the first anniversary of the tragic automobile accident near Waukesha, Wisconsin, that claimed the life of Foltz and Michigan State punter Mike Sadler.

“We wanted a way to remember Sam permanently in a venue that would be appropriate and meaningful, not just to the current team but also to future teams and everybody involved with the program and the public,” Nebraska Executive Associate Athletic Director Steve Waterfield said. “We think this is a great way to do that.”

Perfect spot for a Foltz tribute. So the players see him right before the game.
