The excitement was obvious in Caleb Rowe’s voice as the quarterback broke down one of Maryland’s newest receiving threats on the outside. Freshman D.J. Moore was elevated atop the depth chart at one of the Terps’ receiving spots, and he’s set to make his first career start against South Florida on Saturday.
The Philadelphia native has already impressed, including with a 42-yard catch and run for a touchdown against Bowling Green last week when he almost lost his footing before jetting into the end zone for his first career score.
And Rowe praised Moore’s ascension with the Terps, even putting him into rarefied air with one of the most recent dangerous Maryland wide receivers.
