    good to hear, especially since he changed his number for the game to honor his friend (or relative or whatever it was). Way to make ‘em proud.

    This was earned and well deserved. He changed his number from 10 to 48 to honor his hs football manager who died of cancer. He was great he received his first B1G D player of the week as a reward for his efforts to honor his friend! Good for him!
