Parents of Maryland players will meet with Damon Evans, new commission looking at football culture

Parents of Maryland football players on Saturday are scheduled to meet with new athletic director Damon Evans for the second time since the death of redshirt freshman offensive lineman Jordan McNair.

The meeting is scheduled to be held at Gossett Team House beginning at 8 a.m., according to sources familiar with the meeting who wished to remain anonymous.

A source said the committee hired by Maryland to look into the team’s culture under coach DJ Durkin will begin interviewing parents after the meeting with Evans.

Evans and Durkin met with about 30 to 40 parents for about two hours June 21, eight days after the former McDonogh standout died from heatstroke he suffered when taking the team’s conditioning test May 29.
