Oregon Ducks' Emotional Tribute To Honor Fallen Teammates

As part of the Oregon Ducks closing the summer off season, the team hikes Spencer Butte in honor of fallen teammates Khyree Jackson and Spencer Webb before beginning fall camp. Ducks coach Dan Lanning addressed the team in a video posted on social media.

For the third year in a row, the Oregon Ducks football team came together for a hike to honor two passed former Ducks: tight end Spencer Webb and cornerback Khyree Jackson.

"So look, we do this every single year," Lanning said at the top of the butte. "Some of you guys know, some of you don't know, why we do that. We have a fallen brother. Spencer Webb. We have another fallen brother, Khyree Jackson, that don't get to sit where you're sitting right now. Part of this team, lost too soon and we don't get the opportunity to enjoy that moment with them anymore so part of this is remembrance for those guys who were a part of our team. Once you're part of our team, you're forever a part of our team."

"The other piece that you walk away with is that this is the end of summer," Lanning continued. "We just finished our summer workout and right now you should have a sense of accomplishment. But you've also got to realize there's more on that plate to eat and you want to finish the plate."
