We join the rest of the SLUH community in mourning the loss of former Jr. Billiken football player, Will Smit ‘18. Will was a joy to be around and always put a smile on his teammates’ and coaches’ faces. Our thoughts and prayers are with Will’s family and friends.
One year ago our program lost one of the finest members and leaders it ever had. If we play with half the passion, heart, and drive of David Jackson, we are looking at a fantastic season. Today and every day we strive to play and live like DJ. We love and miss you, David.
