After the tragic death of a Maryland football player due to a heatstroke, preventing heat exhaustion has been an important topic in the college football world as of late.

That situation was brought even more to the forefront with the ongoing investigation into the Terrapins’ program after reports that it didn’t handle heat prevention properly, along with several other reports of character issues among those leading the team.

Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher was asked about how his program attempts to prevent heat exhaustion at fall camp on Wednesday, and he discussed the topic at length, using when former Aggies player Koda Martin suffered a heatstroke as an example.

“We have a lot of things. We have our GPS system, there’s trainers and things at everything we do that can measure heart rate, I know the monitors are on constantly 24 hours a day, they can measure heat,” Fisher said. “We had a heatstroke last year, we had a guy with one. We monitored it, very quick got it addressed and thank God that he was able to do things. In a very mild drill that wasn’t over-exuberating, but things can happen, you’ve always got to be prepared for the unexpected. Heart rate monitors and everybody being in place to be able to handle those scenarios, it went very, very well. And pray to God that always happens.

“You do that, you always have people and you can measure heat, you’ve got water at everything you ever do, and doctors are right there on-call as quick as we can get them.”
