San Jose State’s football game at New Mexico State Mexico was postponed on Friday, hours after Spartans freshman running back Camdan McWright was killed in a downtown crash.
The team honored McWright later Friday night with a candlelight vigil near 10th street and Reid, where police say the 18-year-old’s rented electric scooter collided with a school bus.
“In light of the tragic circumstances involving Camdan McWright, we have made the decision with New Mexico State to postpone the game, originally scheduled for this Saturday to a future date in the 2022 schedule,” San Jose State Director of Athletics Jeff Konya said in a statement.
It’s unclear if the game will be played. San Jose State (4-2, 2-1 Mountain West) doesn’t have any open dates through the conference championship game on Dec. 3. The Aggies used to be SJSU’s conference rivals, but currently play as an Independent.
SJSU’s next game is Oct. 29 at home against Nevada.
