On Sunday, I received the news from a coworker on Sunday and was absolutely devastated and shocked. I had never met Foltz personally, but I have friends who did, and I knew how great of a person and player he was.
I enjoyed watching him play last season, and saw his amazing potential as he was recognized as Big 10 punter of the year. A few weeks ago, when I wrote the article about his nomination to the Ray Guy Award watch list, I began to get more excited to see what he was going to bring the field come September 3rd.
