Maryland freshman quarterback Kasim Hill will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in Saturday’s 38-10 loss to Central Florida, Coach DJ Durkin announced Tuesday.
Hill was hurt three weeks after sophomore Tyrrell Pigrome, who began the season as the Terrapins’ starting quarterback, was lost for the season with the same injury.
“It’s part of the game, unfortunately,” Durkin said. “When it happens at the same position, that makes things a little tougher. But it’s part of life and a great way to learn.”
[After big win and loss of QB, Maryland football must look at Kasim Hill as net gain.]
Maryland (2-1) is expected to start Max Bortenschlager on Saturday for its Big Ten opener at Minnesota. It will mark the third straight year and fourth time in six years that Maryland has started three or more quarterbacks in a season. The Terrapins have had five players start at the position in the last two years.
Hill is expected to have surgery once the swelling in his right knee subsides and will be eligible for a medical redshirt, according to school spokesman Dustin Semonavick.
It appeared that Maryland had developed solid depth at the position as it opened training camp in August, but attrition has quickly thinned the ranks. In addition to Hill and Pigrome, redshirt junior Caleb Henderson is still working his way back from a lingering foot issue that curtailed much of his fall camp.
Durkin said Henderson will be ready for Saturday’s game at Minnesota...
