The Oregon Ducks suffered a tragic loss just before the start of the 2022 season when tight end Spencer Webb passed away at the age of 22 after a rock climbing accident. And as the Pac-12 conference season kicks off conference play this weekend, the entire conference is coming together for a touching tribute.
The Pac-12 announced on Saturday afternoon that all six Pac-12 stadiums hosting games on Saturday will paint their four-yard lines in Oregon Duck yellow for their games. The move is to honor Webb, who wore No. 4 with the Ducks.
To honor the life of @oregonfootball’s Spencer Webb on the first weekend of conference play, our Pac-12 family joined today in painting all 4-yard marks with @GoDucks yellow across the league.

Oregon will honor Webb throughout the season after the 4-yard lines on each side of the field inside Autzen Stadium. The Ducks will also don a spider web decal featuring Webb’s No. 4 on their helmets for the 2022 season.
