I’ve had a hard time finding the words for this. Doesn’t seem real, we were just talking Jr. Maroons linemen yesterday morning during the Mud Dogs game. Your passion and drive to make an impact on our program was second to none. You didn’t even have a child of your own in the program but it was like they were all your children on the football field. My heart breaks for the Peterson family and friends. If you can help them out please see the link below. Thank you.

Rest In peace Ryan Peterson. I really enjoyed getting to know you. You have no idea how much Brody has looked up to you. Thank you for being apart of our lives and all our Mud Dogs are better players and men because of you. I hope you give us guidance from above. My prayers are with your family buddy. We are Moline!
