U.S. Rep. Kweisi Mfume considers expansion of federal student-athlete bill following death of Franklin student

U.S. Rep. Kweisi Mfume is exploring the expansion of a bill that would protect college athletes to include high school players in the wake of the death of a Franklin High School football player this month. Leslie Noble, a 16-year-old junior guard on Franklin’s varsity football team, died Aug. 14 after collapsing during a practice. First responders were called to the high school’s field in Reisterstown for a suspected case of heatstroke.
