Funeral services for former Ohio State and Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins, who was killed when he was hit by a dump truck on Saturday, will take place next weekend.

The first memorial will be held April 23 at noon at Christ Church in Rockaway Township, New Jersey. The next day, services will occur at Bullis School in Potomac, Maryland.

Haskins, 24, was hit by the truck while he was walking on a South Florida highway. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A vigil was held outside Ohio Stadium on Tuesday night.

Ohio State football coach Ryan Day said the team will pay tribute to Haskins at Saturday’s spring game at Ohio Stadium, although it is not yet known in what way.

“The biggest thing is to lean on each other and when you're part of a family that's what you do and that's about all you can do,” said Day.

Haskins had been in Florida to compete for a starting quarterback spot with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
