Mourning continues for University of Montana football player

Posted

The University of Montana community is mourning the loss of football player Andrew Harris, who authorities believe died by suicide Tuesday.

The university announced Wednesday that a moment of silence would be held at the Wednesday night men’s basketball game. Coaches and administrators nationwide have sent condolence notices to UM and the Harris family.

In a statement, Coach Bobby Hauck said, “The Grizzly family will continue to mourn the passing of Andrew Harris, but right now our primary concern is for his immediate family, their well-being and their privacy.”

Harris was a graduate of Glacier High school in Kalispell and led the Wolfpack to a 2014 state football championship.
