Monday marked one week since Texas A&M redshirt freshman defensive lineman Polo Manukainiu was killed in a rollover car accident in New Mexico. Texas A&M sports information director Alan Cannon announced Monday that the team would attend a Saturday funeral in Dallas for Manukainiu. The school will also honor Manukainiu at the Sept. 3 Silver Taps. Defensive coordinator Mark Snyder said no decision has been made on how the team will honor Manukainiu during the season. A Facebook group of Texas A&M students and fans with more than 520 members has started a campaign to honor Manukainiu for the Aug. 31 football opening game against Rice with T-shirts.
