Washington State quarterback Luke Falk withdrew from the Senior Bowl Friday to return to Southern California to attend the funeral service for his teammate, Tyler Hilinski, Falk’s agency, Rep 1 Sports, told The Seattle Times Friday morning.
In doing so, Falk will miss Saturday’s Senior Bowl game.
Hilinski’s funeral will be held at Damien High School in La Verne, Calif. this Saturday at 1:30 p.m, and all who knew Hilinski are welcome to attend, the quarterback’s younger brother, Ryan Hilinski, announced on Twitter this week.
Hilinski died on Jan. 16 in Pullman, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, the Whitman Country Coroner determined.
