honored Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr., D'Sean Perry and their families with a pregame video tribute and permanent memorial inside Scott Stadium on Saturday before kickoff against James Madison.
The video, narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, paid tribute to all three players and the legacies they leave behind. Members of all three families stood on the sideline and watched the video board, while the entire Virginia football team stood in the end zone and watched. Hollins, as he did last week, led the team onto the field -- this time carrying a Virginia Strong flag. The entire team knelt in the end zone painted with the phrase Virginia Strong and the numbers 1, 15 and 41. Hollins represented his team for the coin toss, in addition to Davis and Perry's parents, Chandler's uncles and Hollins' parents.
During the pregame walk into the stadium on Saturday morning, the Davis, Chandler, Perry and Hollins families led the team in as orange-clad fans cheered. One fan had a homemade UVA Strong sign with their names and numbers.
