Maryland AD Says He Initially Received 'Inaccurate Info' About Jordan McNair's Workout

Maryland athletic director Damon Evans told ESPN that he was originally given misinformation about what happened during the Terrapins' May 29 workout that led to offensive lineman Jordan McNair's death.

Evans told reporters on June 14, the day after McNair died of heatstroke, that McNair had completed 10 110-yard runs during a conditioning drill. However, an investigative report from Walters Inc. asserts that McNair completed the first seven and before the eighth run, "he was reported by the athletic trainers as exhausted."

"A point of concern for me is the question over whether Jordan completed the workout, as it was initially told to the university in the hours and days following Jordan's hospitalization," Evans said in Wednesday's statement.
