Tennessee football to honor Pat Summitt with helmet sticker

Pat Summitt will be honored by the Tennessee football team when the Volunteers take the field against Appalachian State Thursday night at Neyland Stadium.

Coach Butch Jones announced on Saturday that a commemorative decal will be worn on the team's helmets for the 2016 season to honor Summitt, who died June 28 from complications of early-onset Alzheimer's disease.

The sticker includes a capital "P" inside a circle, based on the way Summitt wrote the letter in her signature.

"We all know everything that she stands for," Jones said.
