STATESBORO — Through consulting with Georgia Southern’s mental health professionals, GS’s Athletic Department will raise awareness for Suicide Prevention and honor the life of the late Jordan Wiggins in Saturday's game against New Mexico State.
At the homecoming game Saturday, there will be a suicide prevention awareness sticker placed on GS player’s helmets, while staff will be wearing the purple and turquoise ribbons. The players will also be using purple mouthguards.
Stickers similar to the ribbons worn by staff will be handed out by GS student-athletes and staff at the gates, as well as the student entrance.
