Purdue Dedicates Tyler Trent Student Gate at Ross-Ade Stadium

Purdue dedicated the "Tyler Trent Student Gate" at Ross-Ade Stadium on Saturday ahead of its home opener against Vanderbilt.

The gate, named in honor late superfan Tyler Trent, replaced Gate E and displays the new name in gold lettering. The entry point also says "T2," Trent's signature mark and includes two plaques featuring his picture and story.

Trent's parents were the first to walk through the gate. They were joined by Josh Seals, Trent's friend who camped out with him ahead of the 2017 Purdue-Michigan game, and Sean English, the first student to receive the Tyler Trent Courage and Resiliance Award.
