Boston College will pay tribute to an alumnus who died in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

The Eagles will wear special helmets, gloves and cleats to honor Welles Crowther, a 24-year-old equity trader, who saved several lives before perishing in the attacks on New York's World Trade Center on 9/11.

Here's a look at the modified equipment the team will wear against USC this Saturday.

Crowther wore a red bandana to protect himself from smoke on that fateful day. He also wore one under his helmet while playing lacrosse for the Eagles.
