2010 OUTlOOk / NOTeSThe Maryland Terrapins hope the misfortune of last sea-

son which featured a number of heartbreaking losses and injuries to key players will help fuel a resurgence in 2010. “We’ve got a lot of good kids who are tired of losing,” said head coach Ralph Friedgen, who is entering his 10th season in College Park. Last season was not the norm for the Terps. Friedgen, the fourth-winningest coach in school history, has taken Maryland to six bowls in his tenure, including three straight trips prior to last season. Maryland hopes the return of a number of key perform-ers from last season will help it battle for the ACC Atlantic Division crown and reach postseason play again. The Terrapins return 52 letterwinners, including 12 offen-sive and defensive starters, all four special teams performers and eight players who have earned all-conference and/or All-America honors. The Terps had just 14 seniors on last season’s squad so a number of youngsters were thrust into action. In fact, 24 freshmengotonthefield,including10truefreshmen. Even though the Terps have just 16 seniors on this sea-son’s roster, the experience earned by the younger players last season should pay dividends in 2010. Junior wide receiver torrey Smith and senior running back Da’Rel Scott headline the seven returning starters on offense under third-year coordinator and assistant head coach James Franklin. Smith and Scott have a solid pedigree as All-ACC perform-ers. Smith was a second-team choice as a receiver and returnspecialistlastseason,andScottwasafirstteamerin2008 when he rushed for 1,133 yards, the seventh-highest total in school history. Smith did everything for the Terps last season, leading them in receptions (61), receiving yards (824), touchdown catches (5) and kick returns (51 for 1,309). He also returned a pair of kickoffs for touchdowns. Smith ranked sixth nation-ally in all-purpose yards (182.7 per game) and his season total of 2,192 ranks second in ACC history. Senior wide receiver Adrian Cannon is also back, along with a host of talented backups. He had a breakout 2009 campaign, posting career highs in receptions (41), receiving yards (468) and TDs (4). There are also three starters back along the line in Paul Pinegar, Andrew Gonnella and R.J. Dill. The versatile Pinegar will move to center to replace Phil Costa, who has moved onto the NFL. Bennett Fulper and Justin Lewis also earned starts at offensive guard last season. The offensive line, which gradually improved last season, will be a key to the Terps’ success.

“We need to be more consistent in the running game and passing game,” Friedgen said. “I thought our pass protection improved quite a bit in the spring.” The Terps will have to replace three-year starting quarter-back Chris Turner, though they will do so with a more mobile signal-caller. Junior Jamarr Robinson had a pair of starts in place of an injured Turner in 2009 and will enter the preseason atop the depth chart.

Robinson has demonstrated his elusiveness. He ended up being the third-leading ground gainer for the Terps last season. He also did not throw an interception. The Terps were snakebit by turnovers last year and realize that’s another key to success.

“The No. 1 thing we have to do is hold onto the ball,” Friedgen said. “We can’t turn it over like we did early last year.”

Robinson’s shiftiness or that of one of the other quarter-backs should assist the offensive line.

“We need to give up fewer sacks and with more mobility at quarterback that should help,” Friedgen said.

As well as putting more points on the board, Friedgen is hoping for improvement from the defense under second-year coordinator Don Brown, who employs an attacking style.

“We need to eliminate big plays,” Friedgen said. “That’s what really hurt us last year. I’d like to see more turnovers and see us pursue the ball better. If we do the latter, we’ll get more turnovers and give up fewer big plays.” A two-time All-ACC performer, senior linebacker Alex Wujciak headlines a defense which returns eight of its top 10 tacklers from last season. Wujciak tallied 131 tackles in 2009, ranking eighth nationally in that category (10.9 per game). Adrian Moten, one of four team captains as a junior last season, has been a playmaker throughout his career. He led the team in tackles for loss (9.0) and sacks (6.0) last year. DemetriusHartsfield had a solid season as well, earning freshman All-ACC honors from his linebacker spot. A.J. Francis, a 2009 freshman All-America choice, is the lone returning starter on the line, but nine other letterwinners are back up front. Junior Cameron Chism, who took over for injured No. 1 cornerback Nolan Carroll in the third game last season, is the lone returning starter in the secondary. However, Kenny tate and Antwine Perez, who are slated to take over the two starting safety roles, have seen significantactionthelasttwoyears.Botharehard-hitting,aggressive defenders.

Special teams should be a strength with all the top performers back.

Punter travis Baltz was a 2008 first team All-ACC pick, place-kicker Nick Ferrara was a 2009 freshman All-American and Smith was one of the top kick returners in the country last season.

tony Logan is back as the No. 1 punt returner as is long snapper tim Downs.

The coaching staff, which remained intact for the second straight year, began grooming the roster in the spring and that process continues on Aug. 10 when preseason practice opens in preparation for the season opener against Navy (Sept. 6).

“Thefirstgameisimportantforus,”Friedgensaid.“Thetalentishere,wejustneedtogainsomeconfidence.”

OffenseQuarterback

With the departure of three-year starter Chris Turner, the Maryland quarterback position will have a different look in 2010. While there will be less experience at the position,theTerpsarearmedwithfivetalentedandathleticsignal-callers.

Junior Jamarr Robinson enters the preseason atop the depthchartafterstartingtwoofthefinalthreegamesof2009and having a solid spring.

“ThefinalfourgamesoflastyearreallyhelpedJamarr,”Friedgen said. “I think he’s playing at a much higher level now. His decisions were much improved. He has the ability to make a bad play into a good one.”

Already in possession of a strong arm, Robinson showed his elusiveness in a pair of near upsets at the end of last season.

Subbing for an injured Turner, he rushed for 129 yards against Virginia Tech, the third-highest total by a quarterback in school history, and posted 271 yards of total offense in a last-second loss to Florida State.

“There were some positives with Chris getting hurt,” Friedgen said. “It forced us to play Jamarr. I thought he got better each and every game. Now we have a quarterback who has some experience.”

Robinson, who completed 46 of 85 passes (54.1 percent) for 459 yards in his brief time, also demonstrated the ability to keep the ball away from the opposing defense by not tossing an interception all season.

Robinson is the only quarterback on the roster who has thrown a pass in a collegiate game, but that’s not to say there isn’t plenty of talent at the position.

“I feel good about our quarterback position for the future,” Friedgen said. “The biggest thing right now is we have four freshmen - two redshirt freshmen and true freshmen - in the mix and then Jamarr, who’s a redshirt junior. We should be stable there for quite a while.”

Redshirt freshmen Danny o’Brien and C.J. Brown will also vie for time under center.

“I feel good about both of those guys,” Friedgen said. “They just don’t have the experience. Hopefully we can get them some snaps.”

O’Brien served as either the No. 2 or 3 quarterback last season and possesses a strong arm with good mobility. He came out of spring practice No. 2 on the depth chart behind Robinson.

Brown, the more mobile of the two, ended the spring third on the depth chart, but he should challenge for time in the fall.

The two true freshmen quarterbacks are Devin Burns and tyler Smith.

Burns, a tall, mobile signal-caller from Columbus, Ga., enrolled in classes in January and took part in spring practice. He was impressive in limited duty.

Smith will join the team in August and comes with an impressive pedigree.

He was a three-year starter at Wilson Area High School in Easton, Pa., where he was a 2009 SuperPrep All-American. Smith ended his career second on both the all-time Penn-sylvania high school passing yards (8,035) and touchdown passes (87) lists.

Running BackOnce again Maryland is deep at the running back

position.For the second-straight season, the Terps have just one

senior in the running back corps.Three-year starting fullback Cory Jackson is gone from

last season’s squad. He didn’t gather many statistics in his four years in College Park, but he was a tremendous blocker and special teams player, as well as a team leader.

Da’Rel Scott,nowinhisfinalseason,hopestoreturntohis All-ACC form of two years ago after an injury-plagued 2009 campaign.

Scottmissedfivegameswithabrokenforearmandwasonly able to gain 405 rushing yards.

The year before, Scott posted 1,133 rushing yards, the seventh-highest total in school history.

Barring an injury, he should become the 10th back in school history to reach 2,000 career rushing yards early in the season.

Scott, more of a breakaway threat, is complemented for the third-straight year by Davin Meggett, a between the tackles runner.

Meggett is also hoping to regain his form of two seasons ago when he rushed for 457 yards, the most by a Terp true freshman back since LaMont Jordan (1997), and averaged 5.13 yards per carry.

Friedgen has seen even further development in each of his top two tailbacks.

“Da’Rel and Davin really improved this spring,” Friedgen said. “Both have accelerated their game. I’m pleased with what Da’Rel is doing without the ball. I think our ball security was much improved over last year.

“Davin was doing a better job reading his keys. He had better acceleration and ran harder.”

There is also depth behind the top two backs.Redshirt freshman D.J. Adams is penciled in as the No.

3 tailback after an impressive spring which was capped off by 71 yards and two touchdowns in the annual Red-White game.

“I thought he did an excellent job in the goal-line and short-yardage situations,” Friedgen said.

Sophomore Gary Douglas, an elusive runner, showed flasheslastseasonandwillalsopushfortime.

“I think we have four good tailbacks,” Friedgen said.

With Jackson gone, there will be a new fullback opening holes for the tailbacks.

taylor Watson, who has played a reserve role the last two seasons, was penciled in as the starter heading into spring practice, but the junior hurt his knee during the second workout and is out of action until early in the season.

However, an injury generally opens up an opportunity for someone else on the roster.

Haroon Brown, who redshirted last season after seeing timeasareservehisfirsttwoyears,mayhavebenefittedfrom the injury.

“Losing Taylor Watson hurt us in the spring, but Haroon came in and played the best football since he’s been here,” Friedgen said.

There should be a good battle for the starting spot when Watson returns from injury.

Louis Berman also had an opportunity to see increased time in the spring, moving to No. 2 on the depth chart. The former linebacker impressed the staff with his toughness.

“Hecouldfillaroleforusinshort-yardageorgoal-line,”Friedgen said. “I wouldn’t be surprised to see him play some this year.”

Paul Lariviere, who has battled injuries the last two seasons, is another veteran fullback who gives the Terps depth.

True freshman Rahsaan Moore, a native of District Heights, Md., will join the team in the fall and could enter into the mix.

Wide ReceiverAnother position of strength for the Terps is wide receiver.

The top nine players on the depth chart are back from last season, including all-league pick torrey Smith, who emerged as one of the top playmakers in the country a year ago, and Adrian Cannon, who had a breakout 2009.

“This is a strong point for us,” Friedgen said. Smith was one of the focal points of the offense last season from his X receiver spot and is likely to garner a bigger role and more attention from the opposition this year. He led the team in receptions (61), receiving yards (824)andtouchdowncatches(5).Hisreceptionstotalwasfifth-best on the Maryland single-season list, while the receiving yards were sixth. Smith’s receiving and return prowess made him one of the top all-purpose performers in the nation. He averaged 182.7 all-purpose yards per game which is thefifth-bestsingle-seasonmarkinACChistory. Seeinghisfirstsignificantcareeraction,Cannonproveda reliable threat opposite Smith.

He was second on the team in receptions (44) and receiv-ing yards (468), posting career highs in both categories. Despite those numbers, he’s likely to battle with Kevin Dorsey for time at the X receiver position. Dorsey battled foot problems early in his career, but saw increased time last season and had a strong spring campaign. “We would not hesitate to play either one of them,” Fried-gen said. Veteran Emani Lee-odai, who has played in 33 career games, could also be a factor at the position.

Smith will be backed up by Quintin McCree and Tony Logan. McCreeplayedin11gameslastseason.Hehadjustfivecatches, but has good speed and size. Logan has seen most of his action on special teams, but has demonstrated the ability to make tacklers miss. “We feel like we have three quality players there,” Friedgen said. Ronnie tyler, LaQuan Williams and Kerry Boykins should battle for time at the slot receiver spot. Tyler was the third-leading receiver a year ago, posting 28 receptions for 346 yards. After suffering through an injury-plagued 2009, Williams played in all 12 games last season, recording 10 catches for 99 yards in a reserve role. Boykins played in 10 games, but saw most of his time on special teams. “We feel very strong about all three guys at that spot as well,” Friedgen said. The wide receiver position has a little bit of everything. “All of these kids have played,” Friedgen said. “We have experience, talent and speed.” But Friedgen is still hoping for improvement. “We just need to make some more plays and be more consistent,” Friedgen said. There are also some talented players behind the top nine wideouts. Webb Dulin, now in his fourth year in the program, has demonstrated toughness as one of the most athletic players on the team. Eric Powell and Joey McQueeney are veteran receivers who give the Terps needed depth.

Offensive line/Tight endTheTerpshopetobenefitfromlastyear’sinexperience

along the offensive line.Graduation hit the line hard heading into last season as

theTerpslostfiveoftheirtopsevenperformersfrom2008,including three All-ACC performers.

Despite losing two starters in Bruce Campbell and Phil Costa off last season’s squad, Maryland should have a more experienced line this year.

Paul Pinegar, Andrew Gonnella and R.J. Dill are the returning starters and two others, Bennett Fulper and Justin Lewis, earned starts last season.

“We’re much improved,” Friedgen said. “The key is to stay healthy.”

LastseasonCampbellandFulpermissedsignificanttimeand the line never had time to jell.

Pinegar is the most seasoned of the offensive linemen having played in 24 games. He has also been the most versatile performer upfront.

Pinegar started at left tackle, right tackle and left guard in 2009. He moved into the center position during the spring and did a capable job.

“He was a pleasant surprise,” Friedgen said. “He played better than I thought he would at center.”

John Dillon and Chris Rhodes are behind Pinegar on the depth chart. Sal Conaboy, a true freshman, will get a look at center as well.

Friedgen likes the situation at tackle.R.J. Dill earned freshman All-ACC honors last season

after starting eight games at right tackle.Sophomore Justin Gilbert, who played in 11 games

in 2009 as a reserve, opens the season as the No. 1 left tackle.

“Gilbert showed vast improvement in the spring, and so did Dill,” Friedgen said.

Nick Klemm (left tackle) and Pete DeSouza (right tackle) will serve as the top backups. Both are big, physical players who redshirted last season.

Gonnellabenefittedfromhistimelastseason.Hestartedin eight of the 11 games he played in at right guard.

However, he seems to have found a home at left guard.“Gonnella showed great improvement in the spring over

last season,” Friedgen said. Pete White, another highly regarded redshirt freshman,

will serve as Gonnella’s backup.

There should be a battle at right guard with Fulper and Lewis.

Fulper played in the first sevengames, including fourstarts (three at left guard/one at right guard), last season be-fore a shoulder injury ended his true freshman campaign.

Lewis had a nagging shoulder injury, but still managed to startthreeofthefinalsixgamesatrightguard.

“Fulper and Lewis were not at full strength in the spring, though both played better as the spring went along,” Friedgen said.

Friedgen is hoping for increased competition from the reserves.

“We really need to see improvement with our second team,” Friedgen said.

With the exception of Fulper and Lewis, no member of the second unit has played a snap.

Friedgen would like the second teamers to ease their wayonthefield.

“An injury here or there and we’ll be forced to play with them,” Friedgen said. “I’d like to see those guys play about 10 plays a game so we can slowly get them ready.”

comers. Max Garcia and Jake Wheeler are highly-regarded

first-yearplayers.Garciawillstartoutatrighttackle,whileWheeler will step in at left tackle.

Maryland will also hope to get some more production from its tight-end position which features the Y (on line of scrimmage) and F (H-back) spots.

“We’re fairly solid at tight end,” Friedgen said. “We have a lot of options.”

Devonte Campbell took over as the starting tight end at the end of last season. He’s a strong, athletic player who saw action in 10 games last season, though he caught just fivepasses.

Campbell has played mostly the F tight-end position, though he actually saw time at fullback in the spring due to the injury to taylor Watson.

Lansford Watson also played in 10 games last season, posting 10 receptions. He could have an expanded role this year. Sophomore Matt Furstenburg will also battle for time at the F position.

Furstenburg played in 11 games, including one start, last season.

Dave Stinebaugh redshirted last season, but impressed the staff on the scout team. He was the 2007 Baltimore County Player of the Year.

Sophomore Ryan Schlothauer, who pushed his way up the depth chart last season, could also see time.

The wild card at tight end is senior Will Yeatman, a two-sport standout. Yeatman, who transferred from Notre Dame in 2009, spent the last two seasons with the Terrapin lacrosse team. He played on the Fighting Irish football team in 2006-07 and should add a physical presence at the position.

DefenseDefensive line

Despite losing three starters along the defensive line, Maryland has a number of players back who saw time last season.

Travis Ivey, Jared Harrell and Deege Galt all started 12 games last season, but they have graduated.

However, the Terps have 10 players back who rotated at the four defensive line positions last season and eight of them have three years of eligibility left.

“We’ve got some depth and just one senior in the group,” Friedgen said.

A.J. Francis, the lone returning starter, had an impres-sive 2009, playing in all 12 games en route to honorable mention freshman All-America honors. He is expected to start at nose tackle.

Junior Derek Drummond rotated at end with Harrell last season, while both Carl Russell, who missed the spring while recovering from shoulder surgery, and Zachariah Kerr played in all 12 games.

Drummond,RussellandKerrshouldallseesignificantaction this season.

One of the most impressive players on the team during the spring was Joe Vellano.Hemissedthefirsthalfof2009with a foot injury and never quite got back to full speed, but is now atop the depth chart at defensive tackle.

“Vellano had an exceptional spring,” Friedgen said. “If we had a most valuable player award, he probably would have gotten it.”

Kerr, Ian Davidson, De’onte Arnett and Maurice Hampton are among those who will serve as reserves at the nose tackle and defensive tackle positions.

Davidson played sparingly last season, while Arnett redshirted.

Drew Gloster, now a senior, was impressive during the spring,hisfirsttimeseeingactionatdefensiveend.Hehasplayed mostly on special teams in his career, but the former tight end and linebacker may have found a home.

“We’re looking for speed at the defensive end position,” Friedgen said.

That was one of the reasons the staff shifted former linebackers Bradley Johnson and MarcusWhitfield to end in the off-season. Both were impressive on the scout team last season as true freshmen.

Those two, along with Gloster and Drummond, will try to provide an athletic presence at that position.

Sophomores Justin Anderson and Isaiah Ross will man the anchor, a strongside defensive end position.

Both were impressive last season. Anderson played tackle, but was bumped outside in the off-season after playinginthefinalsixgamesof2009.

Rossplayedineightofthefirstninegamesasareservebefore suffering a season-ending knee injury at NC State (11/7). He missed the spring, but is expected back at full speed in the fall.

Russell and sophomore Masengo Kabongo could also see time at anchor.

The Terps will also welcome four newcomers to the defensive line in Ian Evans, Andre Monroe, Darius Kilgo and Clarence Murphy.

Kilgo and Monroe are penciled in for duty inside, while Evans and Murphy are likely to be reserves at end and anchor.

Junior Herbert Law is also a reserve at end, while freshman Alex Walker, who joined the team in the spring, adds depth inside.

linebackerThe linebackers, a unit which was mostly inexperienced

going into last season, should be the strength of the defense in 2010.

All three starters - Alex Wujciak, Adrian Moten and DemetriusHartsfield - are back, as are the top backups.

“The strength of our defense is not only the quality of linebackers, but the depth at that position,” Friedgen said. “Avery Murray, Darin Drakeford and Ryan Donohue all played last year as true freshmen, plus we have some new guys who arrived in the spring. They’ll also help us on special teams because we have some big guys who can run.” Senior Alex Wujciak is one of the team leaders. He started the last two seasons at middle linebacker and has been an all-league performer twice. Wujciak is considered one of the top defenders in the na-tion.He’saconsensuspreseasonfirstteamall-conferencepick and is on the watch lists for the Nagurski Trophy, Lombardi Award and Lott Trophy. Moten has been a playmaker from his Sam linebacker position throughout his career. The lone non-senior captain last season, Moten has 13 career sacks and 18 tackles for loss, which are both tops on the squad. Moten should be in line for postseason honors after starting all 12 games last season and ranking second on the team in tackles (68).

Hartsfieldwasfifthontheteamintackles(64)lastseasondespite missing two games and being hampered in three others with a broken wrist. Murray (Mike), Pooler (Will) and Drakeford (Sam) serve as the primary backups, but each can play multiple positions. PoolerstartedforHartsfieldandendedupwith43tackleson the season, including 6.5 tackles for loss, which was tied for third on the team. Murray and Drakeford both played as true freshmen last season so the Terps have plenty of options. “Ideally we’d like to get our fourth linebacker adept at more than one position so we can move people around,” Friedgen said. Another player who impressed in the spring was David Mackall. The true freshman enrolled in classes in Janu-ary. Heshowedexplosivenessandanabilitytofindtheballcarrier. “Wethinkhe’saplayerweneedtofindaspotforandgethim in the game,” Friedgen said. Lorne Goree is another true freshman who enrolled in January. He’s penciled in as a reserve at Will linebacker.

The Terps also have a solid group behind the top three teams. Juniors Steffan Lazerow and Nick Peterson have demonstrated ability on the scout team and during spring practice.

SecondaryMaryland will have to replace three of its four starters

in the secondary with the departure of Anthony Wiseman, Terrell Skinner and Jamari McCollough, but it does have a number of reserves with playing time.

The Terps also lost Nolan Carroll, the team’s No. 1 cornerback last season, who missed all but two games with a broken leg.

However, that injury allowed for the emergence of Cam-eron Chism, the lone returning starter in the secondary.

After playing sparingly as a true freshman in 2008, Chism got some valuable playing time with Carroll’s injury and responded with a team-high four interceptions and 66 tackles (fourth on the team).

“He had a real good spring,” Friedgen said of Chism. “I seehimmaturing.He’splayingwithalotmoreconfidence.Last year really helped him out.”

trenton Hughes and Dexter McDougle were battling for the other starting cornerback spot in the spring and that looks like it will continue into the preseason.

Hughes played in all 12 games last season, but most of his action was on special teams.

McDougle nearly played as a true freshman, but held onto his redshirt.

Michael Carter and Avery Graham are also expected to battle for time at cornerback.

“We think McDougle and Graham are going to be two good corners, but they’re just redshirt freshmen and don’t have the experience,” Friedgen said.

Carter has seen some time in his career and emerged as a player who could see time in the fall.

The Terps will also take a look at some incoming fresh-men in the preseason.

Jeremiah Wilson, Mario Rowson and Jeremiah Johnson are all highly regarded and could be in the mix for playing time at cornerback

Junior Kenny tate and senior Antwine Perez will open the preseason as the No. 1 safeties.

Tate and Perez are experienced performers who combined tostartfivegames lastseason.Botharegoodtacklers and have been significant contributors the lasttwo seasons.

Eric Franklin also saw time at safety in 2009 as a true freshman.

“He’s a smart guy who needs to get a little stronger,” Fried-gen said. “But he played last year and did a good job.”

Redshirt freshman travis Hawkins, who moved from cornerback in the off-season, is the primary backup at strong safety. He’s slightly undersized, but is the fastest safety on the roster and a solid tackler.

Senior ted townsley is the No. 2 punter on the depth chart.Townsley saw his first-career action last season.Ferrara could also see action as the punter again this season.

tim Downswassteady inhisfirstseasonas the longsnapper, keeping his name off the stat sheet. He helped continue Maryland’s streak of 123 games without a punt being blocked, the longest streak in the country. Greg Parcher, who redshirted last season, enters the fall as Downs’ backup. Junior tony LoganwillgetfirstcrackastheNo.1puntreturner. The shifty Logan was injured early last season, so the punt return unit took a while to get going. He did set up the winning score against Clemson with a 43-yard return. Dexter McDougle and Kenny tate also returned punts during spring practice. Despite the success last season, Friedgen is hoping for improvement in all phases of special teams. “Torrey had a couple of big returns, but we weren’t as consistent as we wanted to be,” Friedgen said. “We’ll try to do a better job at blocking so our returners can get going. Wecanmakethefirstguymissbutweneedtohavetheother guys covered.”

Junior Austin Walker, who has been mostly a special teams contributor in his career, is also a backup at free safety.

AnumberofMaryland’srecruitingclasscouldfigureintothe mix at safety including titus till, Desmond Kearse and Matt Robinson.

Anthony Green and Mike Salvatico give the Terps some needed depth at safety.

Special TeamsThe Terps have a full complement of special teams

performers back from last season, including three who have earned postseason accolades. “We should be better on special teams,” Friedgen said. “We have kickers, returners and snappers back, plus we have a lot of linebacker types who can run.”

Junior torrey Smith demonstrated he was one of the top kickoff return men in the nation last season by snapping the ACC single-season return yards mark and returning two for touchdowns.

Smith holds the Maryland career kickoff return yards record and is third in league history. He earned second team All-ACC honors as a returner last season.

Maryland also has one of the best kicking tandems in the league. Senior travis Baltzwasafirst teamAll-ACCpunter in2008 before suffering through an injury-plagued 2009. Baltz, one of nine punters on the preseason watch list for the 2009 Ray Guy Award, should again vie for postseason honors. Hiscareeraverageof40.9yardsperpuntranksfifthinschool history.
