The Scarlet Knights are honoring Eric LeGrand, who was a former player that ended up becoming paralyzed due to a hit on a kickoff return. On Saturday, Rutgers — at the end of the third quarter — will be honoring him by asking fans to hold up a “52”:

The gesture is an awesome one for a person who has helped change the lives of other because of his courage and the message he carries with him.
