— A former Navy football star died Tuesday after suffering an injury while training in Norfolk, Virginia. At the time of his death, 43-year-old Brian Bourgeois had been a commanding officer with SEAL Team 8. U.S. Navy officials believe the tragedy occurred during a fast-rope training evolution. He was a four-year member of the Navy football team, earning three varsity letters. On Saturday, the football team will honor Bourgeois, by running out with a SEAL Team 8 flag, with a #13 home blue jersey adorned on the Navy sideline.
