On the same day that the Board of Public Works officially approved a $3.5 million settlement from the University of Maryland to the family of Jordan McNair, the late Terps offensive lineman who died of heatstroke in June 2018, the state’s flagship university announced a joint partnership with the foundation created in his honor.
Maryland on Wednesday released details on several new initiatives it will conduct in conjunction with the Jordan McNair Foundation, created by Martin McNair and Tonya Wilson, Jordan’s parents, to recognize the former McDonogh standout and educate people about the dangers of and treatment for heatstroke.
