TAMPA, OCT. 25, 2017 – USF will honor military service members and first responders during Saturday's Salute to Service game at Raymond James Stadium with a special Bull leading the charge.
Running out of the tunnel will be brave Anthony Beko, a junior linebacker who spent five years serving for country as a Marine. The Tampa native was promoted to sergeant before leaving the service and resuming his football career.

"It was something that was going to definitely better me, push me and make me a better person, a better man," Beko said.
