A day after learning of the death of former Indiana running back George Taliaferro, the university released a statement explaining it plans to honor the trailblazer multiple ways throughout the week.

Taliaferro, who was a running back for the Hoosiers in the 1940s and was the first African American football player selected in the NFL Draft, died Monday evening. He was 91.

Per the release from Indiana, all flags on campus will be flown at half-staff through this weekend’s Homecoming game against Iowa. Players will also wear a “44” helmet decal, replacing the traditional IU logo. The game program will also feature Taliaferro on the cover.

Before kickoff, there will be a video tribute to Taliaferro followed by a moment of silence.

Taliaferro was an All-American running back for the Hoosiers and was a member of the 1945 team that finished the year undefeated, the only squad in program history to do so. He led Indiana in passing, rushing and punting at different points throughout his career.

He is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame.

In 1949, Taliaferro became the first African-American ever drafted by an NFL team. He was selected in the 13th round by the Chicago Bears. He played with the team from 1949-1955.
