A Sacramento native has joined the heated legal fray over concussions suffered by college football players.
Ronald W. Hermann II played football for Christian Brothers High School and Sacramento City College before going on to play defensive end at Georgia in 1984 and 1985.
Hermann, 53, who resides in Rocklin, is the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Sacramento federal court alleging that he “was subjected to repeated head impacts and TBIs (long-term brain injuries) in practices and games, and suffered numerous concussions each year as a result.”
