GRAND ISLAND, Neb. -- Roughly 1,500 people attended a memorial service for Nebraska punter Sam Foltz to remember a talented young man who mourners said had an outgoing yet humble personality and was willing to help others.
The crowd at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Grand Island on Saturday included seven busloads of teammates, coaches and athletic department officials from the University of Nebraska.
The 22-year-old died after a July 23 car crash near Merton, Wisconsin. It also claimed the life of former Michigan State University punter Mike Sadler. The two had been attending a kicking clinic.
