MOBILE, Ala. — Sixteen days after the deaths of two of his friends in a car accident, Warren McClendon was at the Senior Bowl, speaking with reporters and sharing that he’s been seeing a psychiatrist as he moves forward.
McClendon was in the vehicle during a single-car crash that killed teammate Devin Willock, 20, and UGA recruiting analyst Chandler LeCroy, 24, on Jan. 15. McClendon and Tory Bowles, another member of the Georgia football recruiting department, survived the accident.
“It was rough for me, but I’ve been talking to a psychiatrist, and it’s been getting better day by day,” McClendon said Tuesday in his first interview since the accident. “(The therapy) is very helpful. At first, I was kind of trying to push away from it, but it’s helpful.”
