Johari Branch has carved out a nice role for himself as an offensive lineman at Maryland, but perhaps he should think about a pivot to gymnastics after this weekend.
Late in a tightly contested game against Northwestern, Terrapins running back Roman Hemby struck paydirt with a 75-yard rushing score to put Maryland on top, 31-24, just 12 seconds after the Wildcats had tied the game. Naturally, the electric play called for a celebration, and Branch fully embraced the moment.
The 330-pounder ran down the field after Hemby to join in celebration with the rest of his teammates.
