ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -Brock Mealer says walking on the field at Michigan Stadium in front of 113,090 people was the start of a new chapter in his life.
The brother of Wolverines offensive lineman Elliott Mealer used two canes to steady himself Saturday and lead the team on the field before it beat Connecticut 30-10.
Doctors told him he wouldn’t be able to walk again after he and his brother, Elliott, were in a car accident on Christmas Eve in 2007 that killed their father and Elliott’s girlfriend.
Brock Mealer says the miraculous walk closes one chapter in his life. He says the next ones will be walking with one cane and then with none.
