Idaho Football Player Collin Sather Dies from Cancer at Age 19

Idaho wide receiver Collin Sather died Tuesday morning after being diagnosed with cancer in January.

He was 19.

"Collin was a tremendous young man and a great teammate," head coach Paul Petrino said. "It is a testament to him to see how many of our players cared so deeply about him and how many lives he touched in the Vandal Family in such a short time. We challenge our players to be tough and always choose character. Nobody did a better job of that than Collin. My time with him made me a better person and I know his teammates feel the same way.
