Before he left the field after Maryland’s 52-13 win over Howard on Saturday, senior running back Trey Edmunds made sure to find his father. Ferrell Edmunds is a legend in College Park, one of Maryland’s all-time-great tight ends and an iconic figure who has his face plastered on the wall alongside other all-Americans’ on the upper-deck walls high above Capital One Field.
But perhaps the elder Edmunds’s proudest moment inside this stadium came Saturday, when he watched his son score two touchdowns less than three minutes apart. Trey Edmunds muscled in a three-yard touchdown run with just under six minutes left in the first quarter and, on the ensuing possession, scooped up a blocked punt and ran it back 13 yards for another score.
