While Maryland is still evaluating the health of several injured starters in the wake of a 31-30 loss to Penn State, it promoted junior wide receiver Malcolm Culmer and freshman tight end Avery Edwards on its two-deep depth chart Monday.
Culmer is listed as a starter for next Saturday’s game at No. 10 Iowa. He leapfrogged freshman Taivon Jacobs after catching three passes for 65 yards against Penn State, which marked Maryland’s fourth straight loss. Jacobs had taken over the starting position from Culmer back in September. Culmer has caught eight passes for 128 yards and one touchdown this season.
