MONROE, La. – When Jeff Blackshear received the call to join the ULM L Club Hall of Fame last spring, his emotional response was touching.
The former offensive lineman's induction comes at a difficult point in his life as he battles pancreatic cancer. But the chance to celebrate a great college career with his friends and family is all the more meaningful now.
"This is good for my soul," Blackshear said that night.
Blackshear was up front about his condition and grateful that ULM thought enough of him to recognize him as an all-time great.
