Welles Crowther’s Legacy Lives On | Boston College Football News

Boston College lit up Alumni Stadium in white and maroon to honor Welles Crowther, the 9/11 hero who saved 18 lives and wore number 19—echoing the Eagles’ early 19-yard touchdown. With fans donning red bandannas, family on the field, and a Presidential Medal of Freedom awarded posthumously, the game was a moving tribute. Players wore special “For Welles” jerseys, Rutgers honored their own fallen alumni, and the Eagles cruised to a 28-21 win, their first of the season. Coach O’Brien called it “beautiful and unbelievable,” as drones, flyovers, and roaring crowds united the campus in remembrance of sacrifice and courage.
