WICHITA, Kan. (AP) A Tabor College football player found beaten and unconscious in McPherson nearly a week ago remains in critical condition.
Police found 26-year-old Brandon Brown, a 6-foot-3, 280-pound red-shirt defensive lineman from Sacramento, Calif., lying near a road unresponsive early Sunday. He was taken to a hospital in Wichita where he is on life-support.
The Wichita Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/TiJZVo ) that Craig Brown, Brandon’s father, appealed for help, asking anyone who knows what happened to come foward.
McPherson police chief Robert McClarty says the investigation is continuing.
A relief fund has been established with Emprise Bank in Hillsboro for Brown, who has a 3-year-old son and 7-month-old daughter.
Tabor is in Hillsboro, about 25 miles east of McPherson. It has more than 600 students and is affiliated with the Mennonite Brethren faith.
