Report: Matthew Barber Assaulted by Maryland Teammate over DJ Durkin Saga

Prior to Maryland head coach DJ Durkin getting fired, an altercation reportedly broke out between two football players during practice on Tuesday.

Per Luke Broadwater of The Baltimore Sun, Matthew Barber said he was assaulted by an unnamed teammate.

"My jersey was bloody," Barber told Broadwater. "I had blood all over my hands."

Barber, Maryland's backup punter, said the team heard he is a "whistle-blower" who talked to investigators about the program's culture under Durkin.
