The Maryland football program announced plans to remember and memorialize the life of offensive lineman Jordan McNair Aug. 20, which include moments of silence, a scholarship fund and dedicating part of the program's new practice facility to their teammate.
Two of McNair's partners on the offensive line, junior Ellis McKennie and sophomore Johnny Jordan, spoke to the media on behalf of the team.
"It’s time to get back to what is important and that is honoring our fallen friend, brother and teammate Jordan McNair," McKennie said. "The moment we stop saying his name, the moment that we begin to forget, his legacy will begin to fade. But we plan to have his legacy live on forever. We plan to never forget."
