Former UPS player dies in Fiji
Former Puget Sound defensive lineman Beau Jacobson has died. He was 23. According to the Fiji Times, Jacobson's body was recovered in his diving suit, at Sau Bay on Fiji's Taveuni island. Jacobson was an All-Northwest Conference player for the Loggers from 2003-06. As a senior, he was named a First Team All-NWC selection as a defensive tackle. He also earned second-team honors as a junior and was a honorable-mention selection as a sophomore. "The Logger Football family is deeply saddened as Beau Jacobson was taken from us way too soon. Beau's significant impact on the lives of the teammates he played with was considerably exceptional," said coach Phil Willenbrock. "The width and depth of Beau's circle of influence on coaches, teammates, and support staff as well as the greater campus community represents a transcendent individual whom Logger Football will never forget. Our deepest sorrow extends to his mother Laura, and the entire Jacobson family." | |
