Minnesota Vikings cornerback and 2024 fourth-round pick Khyree Jackson tragically passed away in July. He was 24 years old and was involved in an auto accident.
Jackson was a star defender for Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks. Lanning and Oregon have made it a tradition to remember their fallen brothers by doing a unique task.
Since the passing of former Oregon tight end Spencer Webb, who tragically fell and died in a hiking accident in 2022, Lanning has been taking his team to Spencer Bute, which has an elevation of more than 2,000 feet and a trail of more than a mile and a half.
Every member of the Oregon team hikes to the top of the mountain to remember their fallen brothers. Coach Lanning tells his team to remember those that can’t be here with them today and on their way down he wants his team to think about what they can do to help somebody in need.
