After attending a camp in Wisconsin, current Nebraska punter Sam Foltz and former Michigan State punter Mike Sadler died in an overnight car crash.

Some sad news has come out of the college football world. According to the Lincoln Journal Star, Nebraska punter Sam Foltz and former Michigan State punter Mike Sadler have died in a car accident.

The two had worked at an camp for punters, and died in an overnight crash near Waukehsa, Wisconsin. According to the local sheriff’s department, speed and a wet road have been cited as factors that led the car, driven by Sadler, to lose control strike a tree. LSU senior punter Colby Delahoussaye was a passenger in the car as well, but he survived and was transported to a local hospital.

Foltz led the Big Ten with an average of 44.2 yards per punt last season, and he was named Punter of the Year in the conference. The former walk-on was a three-year starter, along with being on the preseason watch list for the Ray Guy Award heading into his senior season.

He was a standout off the field as well, as a member of the 2016 Brook Berringer and Tom Osborne Citizenship teams and a four-time Nebraska Scholar-Athlete honor roll honoree. The Journal Star also passed along that Foltz regularly volunteered his time, via team hospital visits, School is Cool Week, the Lincoln Marathon and Nebraska’s Sportsmanship Rally.

Here’s an example of Foltz’s off-field contributions:

Sadler was a four-year starter at Michigan State from 2011-2014, and he left East Lansing as one of the school’s all-time leaders in punts (268-second), punting yards (11,307-second) and punting average (42.2-sixth).
