Yeatman says lacrosse future still "up in the air"

Will Yeatman is among the most media-savvy college athletes you'll come across, in equal parts because (a) he's a sharp guy and (b) he's withstood a very public glare from his time at Notre Dame.

So he was naturally well-prepared to handle (and maybe mildly amused to hear) a throw-away question at the end of our football-related discussion about his chances of playing lacrosse at Maryland next spring.

"It's up in the air still," Yeatman said. "We'll see. I'm focusing on football right now."

Yeatman played lacrosse during the regular season at Notre Dame in 2007 under coach Kevin Corrigan and at Maryland in 2009 and 2010 under coach Dave Cottle. Maryland fired Cottle in May and hired John Tillman to take over the next month.

"I've definitely been in touch with the coaches," Yeatman said. "Absolutely. I like Coach Tillman a lot. It's a good coaching staff, but that's still up in the air."

A broken index finger, however, delayed things for imposing California native. "It's weird when you have one little index finger hold a 6-foot-6, 265-pound guy back for so long," Yeatman said this week. "That's just the way it is and the nature of the game. You need your index finger in football." And finally, he can use it without restrictions. Yeatman had the cast removed Wednesday,...

Moten going for three next week Maryland linebacker Adrian Moten had interceptions the last two weeks. He won't get one today, since the Terrapins are enjoying their bye week. But if he gets one at Clemson next Saturday, Moten will become the first Maryland player since 2001 to record interceptions in three straight games. As it stands, he is only the second linebacker (Erin Henderson in 2006 was the other) to have interceptions in consecutive games since Ralph Friedgen took over the Maryland program. A look, then, at Terps who have interceptions in back-to-back games since 2001: 3: Tony Okanlawon, 2001 (West Virginia, Virginia, at Georgia...
