Virginia Tech, other in-state teams to honor Virginia shooting victims with helmet decals

It’s been a sad and tragic few days across the state of Virginia and all of college football this week. Three University of Virginia football players [Lavel Davis, Jr., Devin Chandler and D’Sean Perry] were murdered Sunday by a former Virginia football player and current student after a field trip to Washington, D.C.

The Cavaliers announced on Wednesday that their game this week against Coastal Carolina is canceled. Virginia has yet to make an announcement for its regular-season finale in Blacksburg against Virginia Tech next week.

To honor Davis, Chandler, Perry and the other shooting victims who survived, in-state football programs [Virginia Tech, Liberty, William & Mary, James Madison, Richmond and Od Dominion] will wear helmet decals for this weekend’s games.
