On the first possession of Maryland football's annual spring game April 27, rising redshirt sophomore running back Anthony McFarland broke off a 34-yard touchdown run. Two possessions later, junior running back Javon Leake took a handoff from 3 yards out and dove for the pylon to give his team a 14-0 lead.
That one-two punch of McFarland and Leake is expected to be a common occurrence this fall for the Terps.
While McFarland, who rushed for more than 1,000 yards in 2018, is expected to be the No. 1 back in a crowded running back room, Leake has shown his big-play ability, according to first-year running backs coach Elijah Brooks.
