Defensive tackle Darrell Jackson Jr. wore a T-shirt with Pritchard's face on it during pregame warmups.

According to Earl Pritchard, Ethan Pritchard was driving his aunt home when he was shot in the back of the head in Havana, Florida, 16 miles from Tallahassee, on Sunday night.

Florida State coach Mike Norvell said earlier this week that he had briefly been able to visit Pritchard and had been providing daily updates to his players as they worked to prepare for their game while keeping their teammate in their thoughts.
