Prosecutors Seek Full Report on McNair, Mull Charges

Paul Steinbach Headshot

The state's attorney's office in Prince George County, Md., is seeking an un-redacted version of the report released Friday regarding University of Maryland football player Jordan McNair's death to determine if criminal charges are in order.

McNair — a 6-foot-4, 325-pound offensive lineman — exhibited symptoms of heat illness during a May 29 workout and died June 13. A report on the circumstances surrounding his treatment was assembled by Dr. Rod Walters based on interviews with coaches and athletic trainers, but the report released to the public by the University System of Maryland Board of Regents is only 74 pages long, whereas the full report is 124 pages. Damning in its own right, the abridged version quotes head athletic trainer Wes Robinson as yelling for McNair "to get the f*** up" and for teammates to "drag his ass across the field." Robinson and athletic trainer Steve Nordwall are currently on leave. In August, the university suspended head football coach D.J. Durkin and accepted the resignation of strength and conditioning coach Rick Court in a settlement agreement.
