The tragic deaths of Nebraska punter Sam Foltz and former Michigan State punter Mike Sadler sent shockwaves across the Big Ten and the entire college football landscape.

Both punters were tragically killed in a car accident late Saturday night while in Wisconsin for a kicking and punting camp in Waukesha County.

The two were clearly beloved by teammates, coaches, fans and others who followed their careers from afar. Many went on Twitter Sunday afternoon to offer their condolences, including many fellow Big Ten programs.
