Purdue on Wednesday renamed Gate E at the stadium as Gate T2, the Tyler Trent Student Gate, to honor the student and Boilermakers fan who inspired many during his fight against cancer. Trent died on Jan. 1 at age 20 from osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer. Along with the new steel archway above Gate T2 will be a plaque explaining Trent's story and contributions to the university.
Trent served as Purdue's honorary captain several times during the 2018 season. Millions of college football fans learned of his story during Purdue's upset victory over Ohio State, a game Trent attended. He inspired chants of "Cancer sucks!" and the hashtag #TylerStrong, and encouraged donations for cancer research. Purdue established the Tyler Trent Cancer Research Endowment, which raised more than $100,000 before Trent's death.
Such an awesome (but bittersweet) story.
