Texas plans pregame tribute for Wyoming player killed in accident

Texas to pay tribute to Wyoming player killed

AUSTIN, Texas — Texas will have a pregame tribute for Wyoming freshman linebacker Ruben Narcisse, who was killed this week in a traffic accident.

The No. 5 Longhorns hosts the Cowboys on Saturday in Austin.

Texas coach Mack Brown says the tribute will include a moment of silence and Narcisse’s photograph on Texas’ massive scoreboard video screen. The Texas band will also play a song for the Wyoming team.

Narcisse, who was from Miami, died Monday night in Colorado. Three other Wyoming players were injured in the accident.
