Aaron Lowe was tragically shot and killed at a house party in Sugarhouse, Utah on Sunday, September 26 early in the morning.
Lowe was the first recipient of the Ty Jordan Memorial Scholarship and switched his number from 2 to 22 during the offseason to honor the life of his childhood friend, who tragically died from an accidental gunshot wound on December 25, 2020.
Lowe signed with Utah in 2019 as a three-star recruit out of West Mesquite High School. He played in 11 games on special teams as a freshman. During the COVID-19 shortened season, Lowe played in all five games on special teams in 2020.
Utah and Oregon will square off at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada on Friday, December 3 at 6 p.m. MT on ABC.
