The University of Maryland announced Wednesday that football player Jordan McNair has passed away. McNair was a sophomore who collapsed during a workout and was hospitalized on May 29.
"He was an extremely talented football player and a humble and genuine human being," said Coach DJ Durkin.
McNair was a 6'4" offensive lineman who appeared in one game during the 2017 season. He received a liver transplant while hospitalized and the program kept his situation private at the request of McNair's family.
Counseling services will be provided for student-athletes and the staff.
