Jack Curtis ’26 and Carleton Football covered in Star Tribune college sports section
Curtis is majoring in physics at Carleton.
Jack Curtis ’26 and the Carleton football team were covered in the Star Tribune piece, “A typical result for St. John’s and Carleton includes respect for the opposition.” The Johnnies improved to 42-0 all-time vs. Carleton, but many of their fans and players paid respect to Curtis, who recently completed chemotherapy for his lymphoma.
There was this amazing scene at game’s end. Numerous St. John’s players ran over to congratulate Curtis on his Carleton career, on his spectacular passing effort this season, and also their admiration for him playing every week in the face of treatment for lymphoma.
And that wasn’t all tributes from the Carleton visitors.
“Down there at the back of the field, there are St. John’s fans surrounding Jack, congratulating him on playing like he has in this circumstance,” Journell said. “I even saw a person in Johnnies red with the message, ‘Let’s Go Jack Curtis.’”
