The announcement on Twitter that the coins will be used is just the latest way to pay tribute to the two fallen punters. Sam Foltz was due to be a potential All-American punter for the Nebraska Cornhuskers this year.
Mike Sadler had just finished his college football career for the Michigan State Spartans. As most Michigan State and Nebraska football fans know, the two conference rivals but good friends were traveling home from a football camp this summer when they were involved in a car accident.
Foltz and Sadler were killed in the accident and both schools’ communities have been dealing with an outpouring of emotion.
