The Southeast Texas high school that George Floyd attended is planning to rename the football field after him.
The Houston ISD school board will add the George Perry Floyd Jr. Athletic Community Field name at Yates High.
Floyd was a star tight end for the Lions in the early '90s helping them reach the state championship game.
He was killed in May 2020 after a Minnesota police officer put his knee on Floyd's neck and suffocated him to death.
The officer was fired and later convicted of murder and manslaughter.
