Damon Evans takes over as Maryland athletic director after two-month search led back to him

In 2004, he was named athletic director at University of Georgia, where he played wide receiver from 1988 to 1991. That made him the first African American athletic director in Southeastern Conference history. He held that role until 2010, when he resigned following a DUI arrest and started a four-year run in the private sector. Anderson — who officially resigned as Maryland’s athletic director in April and is now the interim AD at Cal State-Northridge — gave Evans a second chance in 2014.
