Teams honor UVA football players with touching tributes across the country

UVA Football Devin Chandler Lavel Davis Jr DSean Perry Mike Hollins Virginia

The University of Virginia’s Lavel Davis Jr., D’Sean Perry, and Devin Chandler tragically had their promising lives cut short when they were gunned down last Sunday evening upon from a class field trip.

Running back Mike Hollins and a female student — who has since been discharged from the hospital — were also injured in the event. Hollins has since had two successful surgeries and has begun walking.

Instead of suiting up for a game against Coastal Carolina today and recognizing senior players, the Virginia football team, students and the entire Charlottesville community will gather at John Paul Jones Arena for a memorial to the lives of those lost.

ESPN’s Andrea Adelson put together a beautiful tribute for College GameDay that honors the lives and legacies of Davis Jr., Perry, and Chandler.

Since the event, support has poured in from around the sports world in the form of helmet stickers, cleats and more. Please note this list is not exhaustive, and there are likely some tributes that have been missed.
