Maryland offensive lineman Jordan McNair (McDonogh) dies two weeks after collapsing in team workout

Two weeks after collapsing during a team workout and being hospitalized, Maryland football offensive lineman Jordan McNair died Wednesday. The Randallstown resident and McDonogh graduate was a redshirt freshman.

The cause of death has not yet been announced.

McNair, who played in one game last season for the Terps, was a two-time All-Metro offensive guard at McDonogh. Listed at 6 feet 4, 325 pounds, he was a happy, smiling mountain, with a promising football future. He was named to MaxPreps’ Sophomore All-America team in 2014 when he was already drawing a long list of offers from top Division I football programs and was well on his way to becoming a four-star recruit.
