Before his 34-yard fumble return for a touchdown in Maryland’s 35-19 rout of Penn State, junior middle linebacker Chance Campbell remembers the last time he reached the end zone: Nov. 23, 2017, when he scored twice as a running back in Calvert Hall’s 27-6 victory over Loyola Blakefield in the 98th Turkey Bowl.
But the Towson resident said he doesn’t envision joining the offense anytime soon. “They definitely don’t want me having the ball in my hands in college,” he quipped.
As self-deprecating as Campbell is, that play was significant for the Terps (2-1). It gave the team a 35-7 advantage early in the third quarter and shut the door on any hope of a Nittany Lions comeback.
