Despite being shorter than most of his teammates, wide receiver DJ Turner played head-and-shoulders above the competition at Maryland’s spring football game on Saturday. The rising sophomore made the most of his snaps, catching six balls for 126 yards and a touchdown.
“He’s done that all spring long,” DJ Durkin said after the game. “He’s been really really solid for us — consistent. He’s a playmaker with the ball in his hands. He’s a tough cover in the slot.”
He was a tough cover indeed. In the third quarter, with the offense driving, Max Bortenschlager found Turner on a wheel route down the right sideline for a 28-yard touchdown.
