There was a time in the offseason when Taivon Jacobs broke down. He had sat out his true freshman season in 2013 while recovering from a knee injury. And in the season opener in 2014, Jacobs suffered another knee injury on Maryland’s second drive after making his first career start and missed another season.
For four months, Jacobs said in August at Maryland’s media day, he was in shock. Again, his college career would have to wait. And then one day he started crying.
From that day on, Jacobs told himself he could come back from his injuries and that he would be back from them.
