2019 BIG TEN RODGERS-DWIGHT RETURN SPECIALIST OF THE YEAR (COACHES/MEDIA): Javon Leake, Maryland,...Leake was voted as the Rodgers-Dwight Return Specialist of the Year after leading the Big Ten and ranking third in the FCS with 804 kickoff return yards and a pair of kickoff return touchdowns. Leake's 26.8 yards per kickoff return average also led all Big Ten players and ranked 13th nationally. Leake joins an impressive list of players that have won the Rodgers-Dwight Return Specialist of the Year Award, now in its fifth year. Former Terp All-American William Likely III won the inaugural award in 2015 and was followed by a pair of NFL first round draft picks - Michigan's Jabrill Peppers in 2016 and Penn State's Saquon Barkley in 2017. Leake was also selected to the All-Big Ten First Team as a return specialist by both the coaches and media. - Maryland Football

Maryland running back Anthony McFarland Jr. will forgo his remaining two seasons of eligibility to declare for the NFL draft, he announced Tuesday. "I want to start by thanking the great coaching staff and amazing fans at this wonderful University," McFarland wrote in a statement he posted on Twitter. "In addition, thank you to my teammates. You are my brothers and I am blessed to have made deep relationships with many of you that will last a lifetime."

McFarland, a redshirt sophomore, struggled with a nagging ankle injury all season, but still showed his ability to generate explosive plays. He ran for 614 yards during the 2019 campaign without much help from the offensive line or a complementary passing game. McFarland recorded a season-high 134 yards, which included a 63-yard touchdown, in Maryland’s season finale Saturday at Michigan State. - The Washington Post

OCT 14 NEC ROOKIE OF THE WEEK: TYRESE CHAMBERS, SACRED HEART, WR, Fr., 6-1, 185 lbs., Baltimore, MD/Poly Prep,...WEEK 7 Stats: 150 scrimmage yards, 7 receptions, 139 rec yards, TD reception, 11 rush yards, 2 rushes,...Chambers went over the 130-yard receiving mark on the road for the third time this season. Going up against Ivy League member Penn, the freshman pass-catcher gained 139 yards on seven receptions and also picked up 11 rush yards on two carries.

Accounting for the highest receiving total on the circuit this week, and the fourth highest of the season, Chambers averaged 19.9 yards per catch during his first-ever appearance at historic Franklin Field. The 6-foot-1 speedster turned on the burners during a 74-yard scoring play early in the fourth quarter. The sixth touchdown of Chambers' rookie campaign pulled Sacred Heart to within seven points of Penn with 11:10 remaining. Chambers owns three of the top-five single-game receiving performances in the NEC through seven weeks of the season. - Northeast Conference Football

Maryland safety Antoine Brooks Jr. has 30 solo tackles, most in the Big Ten and the 15th-highest total in the country. "When you see a safety lead in tackles, you kind of think, well man, (they're) getting a lot of big plays," Locksley said. "But a lot of his tackles take place around the line of scrimmage." Brooks' value to the Terrapins transcends his performance on the field. "The biggest asset is his leadership," Locksley said. "He doesn't do it with a whole bunch of talk, and he's not a guy that stands up in meetings and talks. But he plays hurt, he plays reckless with his body." - AP College Football

Maryland's Javon Leake has a knack for getting into the end zone, as evidenced by his performance last week against Rutgers Leake scored on runs of 41 and 12 yards, and he also returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown, helping him earn Big Ten special teams player of the week honors for the second time in his career. In a Week 2 upset over No. 21-Syracuse, Leake ran for 107 yards on just seven carries and scored a pair of TDs. Leake has 898 yards in kick returns, 13th in school history, and last year against Illinois became the first Terp to score four touchdowns in a game since D.J. Adams in 2010. - AP College Football

Josh Jackson threw two touchdowns before being hurt and Javon Leake scored three more as Maryland used the big play to rip downtrodden Rutgers 48-7 on Saturday, spoiling the debut of Scarlet Knights' interim head coach Nunzio Campanile. The Terrapins (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten) had five touchdowns of 23 yards or longer and scored three touchdowns on three consecutive offensive plays in the second quarter in snapping a two-game losing streak and handing Rutgers (1-4, 0-3) its fourth straight loss. Not only did Rutgers lose, it saw sophomore quarterback Art Sitkowski, who started the last two games, and junior halfback and captain Raheem Blackshear sit out the fourth game while pondering whether to redshirt a season quickly going down the tubes. One has to wonder whether they will transfer the program now that former coach Chris Ash has been fired after three-plus seasons.

Jackson, who left the game after hurting his right ankle late in the first half, connected with Dontay Demus Jr. on an 80-yard pass play on Maryland's first play from scrimmage. He added a go-ahead 23-yard TD pass to Tayon Fleet-Davis just three plays after Rutgers used a flea-flicker to help tie the game at 7 on a 3-yard run by new starting quarterback Johnny Langan. Leake got his first score on the Terps' next play from scrimmage. It was a 42-yard run, one play after Rutgers failed to get a first down on a fourth-and-1 gamble from its own 42 while trailing 14-7. - Maryland/AP College Football

SEPT 23/WEEK 4 NEC ROOKIE OF THE WEEK: TYRESE CHAMBERS, SACRED HEART, WR, Fr., 6-1, 175 lbs., Baltimore, MD/Poly,...WEEK 4 Stats: 8 receptions, 144 rec yards, 2 TD receptions,...Chambers has been a key contributor to Sacred Heart's powerful passing attack, which has yielded 1,120 yards over the past three games. Exceeding the century mark for the second week in a row, Chambers piled up 144 yards on eight receptions in the Northeast Conference opener at LIU.

The rookie receiver registered five first downs and reached pay dirt twice during the 34-10 road win. His first two receptions went for touchdowns. After going without a first-quarter catch, Chambers converted a 3rd-and-8 by cashing in on an 11-yard scoring strike with 12:06 left in the opening half. Later in the second quarter, he made a catch over the middle and turned up field for a 60-yard touchdown that gave SHU a 27-7 lead. Over the past three games, Chambers has logged 371 yards and five touchdowns on 21 receptions. - Northeast Conference Football

Following his first career touchdown reception in a Week 2 win over Bucknell, Chambers was on the receiving end of two more Marchi scoring strikes in a 56-40 road victory over Lafayette.

The rookie receiver pulled in a game-high nine passes from Marchi while totaling 133 yards through the air. Chambers added 12 rush yards on three carries. The 6-foot-1 freshman made a 24-yard touchdown reception to pull SHU within three points of Lafayette during the final minute of the opening half. Chambers reached the end zone again in the third quarter, making a 20-yard catch to bump Sacred Heart's advantage up to 35-27. - Northeast Conference Football
