The University of Maryland has hired a sports medicine consulting group to conduct an external review of the football team’s protocols following the death of a 19-year-old offensive lineman.
Walters Inc., led by former collegiate athletic trainer Dr. Rod Walters, will begin its review by the end of the week, university officials said Tuesday night. The review could take up to 90 days.
Maryland’s acting athletic director Damon Evans made a public pledge to conduct an external review the day after Jordan McNair died. The Randallstown resident was hospitalized on May 29 after collapsing during an organized team workout in College Park.
