July 25, 201610 yr Nebraska's Sam Foltz, Michigan State's Sadler die in car crash - ABC News Nebraska punter Sam Foltz and former Michigan State punter Mike Sadler were killed Saturday in a car wreck while returning from a kicking camp in Wisconsin. Foltz and Sadler died in a single-car crash at 11:43 p.m. CT, according to a Waukesha County Sheriff's Department statement. Sadler was driving the car, the sheriff's department said. LSU kicker Colby Delahoussaye was also in the vehicle at the time of the crash. He was taken to Waukesha Memorial Hospital for treatment. Tigers sports information director Michael Bonnette told ESPN that Delahoussaye needed stitches and suffered burns to his legs. LSU later released a statement that said Delahoussaye suffered minor injuries and had been released from the hospital. The sheriff's department said the car lost control on wet pavement, left the road and struck a tree. Speed appears to have played a role in the crash, according to the department, which added that the incident remains under investigation. Foltz and Sadler had been serving as student instructors at Kohl's Kicking Camp in Wales, Wisconsin, according to a camp spokesman. So sad...
July 25, 201610 yr Anyone who follows me on twitter saw lots of info on this horrible event yesterday -- incredibly sad. Sam Foltz was a fantastic young man, and while I don't much / anything about Sadler, I was really hit hard for the families of both young men. Nebraska has withdrawn from Big 10 Media Days so they can all stay on campus and mourn with Sam's teammates.
July 25, 201610 yr I can't imagine how Colby feals about this. 3 of them in the crash and he is the only one to come out of it. Prayers to all families and teammates involved.
July 25, 201610 yr So sad. Thoughts and prayers to these young men and their families and teammates. RIP

July 27, 201610 yr I guess this hits closer to home since I have kids now. I know I did some dumb stuff as a young man. Driving to fast in the rain is one of many. Sad for all involved. I was a teen when Artie Steinmetz was killed in an auto accident. That still makes me sad.
July 28, 201610 yr No words .... Prayers for the families, their Huskers and Spartan families and friends.
