Redshirt sophomore defensive end Kelton Dawson will have the honor on Saturday afternoon to wear Brandon Adams’ No.90 jersey. The Jackets this year have honored Adams weekly by giving one player each week the opportunity to wear Adams’ No.90 when the Yellow Jackets take on the North Carolina Tar Heels.
The Jackets have chosen to honor Adams in multiple ways this season after Adams, a kind and graceful soul passed away this past offseason in a tragic accident. In addition to handing out his No.90 jersey to a worthy player each week, the Jackets have also honored Adams with an on-the-field tribute at Bobby Dodd Stadium as well.
