Moore, Palmore earn collegiate awards from Touchdown Club of Annapolis

They share the same nickname, but they could not be any different as football players.

Darren Andre Palmore Jr. is a hard-hitting outside linebacker, an aggressive pass rusher who wreaks havoc coming off the edge.

Denniston Moore Jr. is a record-breaking wide receiver — an impressive mixture of size, speed, strength and skill.

Those two players both answer to D.J. and share one other thing in common. They are the 2017 recipients of the Touchdown Club of Annapolis collegiate awards.

D.J. Palmore will be presented with the Tony Rubino Memorial Silver Helmet Award as the Most Outstanding Player at the Naval Academy after leading the team with 12½ tackles for loss and three fumble recoveries last season.
