Evan Mulrooney takes center stage for Terps

Evan Mulrooney's assessment of his training camp battle for Maryland's starting center job could describe his whole career with the Terps.

“It wasn't always a smooth ride,” Mulrooney said Wednesday. “Hit a few speed bumps.”

In his fifth year in College Park and after dealing with illness and constant competition, Mulrooney has finally seized the starting job in the middle of the Maryland offensive line. And in doing so, he emerged as a force of personality, one that can get the message across on the field but can also find moments of levity in an often serious sport.
