With redshirt sophomore offensive tackle TJ Bradley suffering a knee injury during the first week of spring practice, one of Maryland’s top recruits from the 2018 class has switched sides of the ball to fill his place.
After practice Tuesday, head coach Mike Locksley said the Terps have moved redshirt freshman Austin Fontaine from defensive line to offensive line to help provide some more depth at a thin position.
“We brought him in and talked to him after Saturday’s practice, and he was gung-ho about moving over and giving it a try,” Locksley said. “If it works well we’ll keep him there and develop him as an offensive lineman but if it doesn’t look like he’s going to help us or will benefit from the other side of the ball we’ll move him back over.
