A year after sticking with senior quarterback Perry Hills despite clamoring from fans and media to put in some packages for then-freshman Tyrrell Pigrome, Maryland offensive coordinator Walt Bell said Wednesday that he plans to show the 5-foot-11, 196-pound sophomore the same loyalty as a starter.
Pigrome, who played in 11 games and started against Minnesota when Hills was injured, was named the team’s No. 1 quarterback Monday, beating out touted freshman Kasim Hill. The Terps open the 2017 season Saturday at No. 23 Texas.
“Pig has had a great fall camp, he had a great spring,” Bell said during his weekly news conference.
