The associate head coach of the Northwestern football team allegedly witnessed players doing naked pull-ups and engaging in other forms of hazing, former Northwestern player Ramon Diaz and a person in contact with several other former players told USA TODAY Sports on Thursday.
The person spoke on the condition they not be identified because of the sensitivity of the situation.
Matt MacPherson, who in addition to serving as the team’s associate head coach is in charge of safeties, came in and out of the locker room when the players did naked pull-ups, said Diaz, an offensive lineman who was on the football team from 2005-2008.
