MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The University of Miami Hurricanes football team will honor Marlins ace Jose Fernandez with a helmet decal.
The Hurricanes will wear the decal for Saturday’s game at Georgia Tech. The sticker, a simple black circle, reads “JF 16” for Fernandez’s name and jersey number.
This past Sunday, we lost a big piece of our community.

Fernandez and two friends died when his boat crashed into a jetty off Miami Beach early Sunday.
Family, friends, fellow players and the community have all honored Fernandez in their own ways.
