There will be a memorial service for deceased UB football player Solomon Jackson at The Well Buffalo Church Thursday night.
A public viewing will be held from 7-8 p.m. and a private service for the football team, staff and family will follow. UB Athletics said the service is for team and family only due to limited space.
Jackson died Monday night - one week after suffering what the university has called a "medical emergency" at a team conditioning session on Feb. 22. Jackson, 20, was hospitalized in critical condition and a coma at Buffalo General Medical Center throughout the week before passing away on Monday.
