Parents of late Maryland football player help others in son’s honor

AI Summary

The parents of Isaiah Hazel, a late Maryland football player who died in a car accident, are supporting others in his memory. Isaiah had aspirations to join the United Football League prior to his death, and his family is honoring his legacy through community efforts.

Before Isaiah Hazel developed his love for football, his mother had a different vision for his future. “I honestly thought that he was going to be a minister because that was his thing,” Brenda Hazel said. The wide receiver-turned-defensive back was eyeing a chance to try out for the United Football League before dying in a three-car accident on July 6, 2024, with friends Khyree Jackson, a Minnesota Vikings rookie cornerback, and Anthony Lytton, Jr., a Florida State and Penn State cornerback.
