Dwayne Haskins’ family held a memorial service on Saturday in New Jersey, and Haskins’ former Ohio State teammate Terry McLaurin was among those who paid tribute to the late Buckeye quarterback.
During a moving eulogy to Haskins, McLaurin said Haskins “made me a better man and a better friend” and taught him “what it was like to be a real friend.” WUSA’s Darren Haynes shared video of the moment.
