No. 1 D.J. Moore takes it all the way

There were definitely several high-octane plays that Maryland had this season, so it was hard to choose one as the top option.

With that being said, wideout D.J. Moore wowed the fanbase more than a handful of times.

His most prolific play has to be against Nebraska. Maryland was trailing 28-0 and looking for any type of spark to carry over to the Rutgers game the following weekend.

Fill-in signal caller Max Bortenschlager was deep in his own territory and needed to get the ball out in a quick fashion.

Bortenschlager dumped off a bubble screen pass to Moore and Moore did the rest. The former Imhotep (Pa.) star made four Cornhuskers miss on his way to the end zone for a 92-yard touchdown.

It was the longest touchdown of Moore’s career.

Moore finished the season with 38 receptions for 597 yards and six touchdowns. He proved that he has the talent to be a star wide receiver for the Terps and could even draw comparisons to Stefon Diggs.

He’s got a long way to go, but Moore definitely had the top plays of the 2016 season.
