McDonogh will retire Jordan McNair’s No. 70 jersey during a ceremony before the Eagles’ Sept. 14 game against Malvern Prep (Pa.).
McNair, an offensive lineman at Maryland, suffered heatstroke during a Terps conditioning test May 29 and died 15 days later. A two-time All-Metro player for the Eagles, he graduated from McDonogh in 2017.
“As a school community, Jordan McNair was one of our own, a special student whose life impacted everyone he met during his four years here,” McDonogh co-athletic director Mickey Deegan said.
“He was an important part of our football program during those years when we were very successful.
