Philip Lutzenkirchen's legacy will live forever at Auburn and soon his former high school will take a big step to permanently honor him.
Lassiter High School in Marietta, Georgia was given the green light Thursday to install a new turf field and name it after the former All-SEC tight end. The move was passed unanimously by the Cobb County School Board on Thursday.
The project, at a cost of $332,421.68, will be fully funded by the Lutzie 43 Foundation and will be completed July 24. Money was raised by the foundation, which was named in honor of the former Auburn star.
