UTEP Football honors Luke Laufenberg with framed jersey to family

At the end of the 1st quarter in UTEP's season opener with Houston Baptist, UTEP honored former tight end Luke Laufenberg with a framed jersey to his father Babe Laufenberg and Luke's brother.

Luke died last week following a two-year battle with cancer.

After being declared cancer free at the end of 2018, Laufenberg was offered a scholarship to play football at UTEP. However, his cancer returned and Luke was unable to return to El Paso.
