Veii heads back to Maryland

He also competed at running back, registering 251 yards on 58 carries and scored two touchdowns. Per NCAA transfer rules, the Gaithersburg native will be sidelined for the 2016 season but looks forward to playing again the following year. Maryland hired former Michigan assistant DJ Durkin in December and the Ohio native has already made a splash in his first month on the job by hiring three individuals with prior head coaching experience at the collegiate level. Before making his decision, Veii said he sought counsel from his mentor, Myron Flowers, along with other Maryland student-athletes within the football program. “I’ve heard nothing but great things about Coach Durkin from my mentor to my teammates that told me about him,” said Veii. Flowers said the move back to Maryland will be a “great opportunity” for the Avalon graduate who plans to compete at wide receiver. “He gets to develop a whole year at one position before taking the field in 2017,” said Flowers. “Also has a great opportunity to rekindle some relationships and build new ones with DJ Durkin and his staff while working on a degree from one of the most diverse and respected universities in the country.” Maryland has hired a new Director of Strength and Conditioning in Rick Court who arrived in College Park with an extensive background that includes stops at Mississippi State and Ohio State. “They’re going in the right direction in terms of development and making Maryland a competitor,” said Veii. “The strength program has made leaps and bounds and had a great strength coach in Coach Court so it’s a very bright future.” @bls1969 ... http://www.thesentinel.com/mont/sports/item/3026-veii-heads-back-to-maryland
