Maryland wide receiver D.J. Moore doesn’t talk much. His football coaches won’t usually hear much more from him than “yes sir” or “no sir.” When he scores, he just turns around and celebrates with his teammates.
But the sophomore’s game demands attention. Moore is quickly coming on as the Terps’ premier wideout. He caught six balls for 147 yards against Florida International on Friday, including touchdowns of 45 and 40 yards. Through two games, Moore’s 10 receptions, 184 yards and two scores are all tops on the team.
“Any time you take a guy who is talented and has ability, and mix that with a great work ethic, you’re going to have a great player, and that’s what I feel he is,” Head Coach DJ Durkin told reporters after Friday’s game.
