Overview

• Footage posted by Benny Johnson showed a very long line in Beaver Stadium’s parking lot, with fans chanting “USA!” as they waited for shirts.
• The shirts replicated the white “FREEDOM” tee Kirk wore when he was killed and aligned with Penn State’s whiteout tradition to fill the stands.
• TPUSA representatives, including senior field organizer Noah Formica, reported registering students to vote while distributing the shirts.
• Organizers explicitly framed the effort as a tribute to Kirk and a continuation of his mission using the college football stage.
• Oregon coach Dan Lanning offered condolences to Erika Kirk and condemned the shooting as evil, and Erika celebrated the Ducks’ double-overtime win with a post on X.
