Maryland LB Hartsfield out for year with torn ACL
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) Maryland middle linebacker Demetrius Hartsfield is out for the season with a torn ACL.
It's the latest in a series of serious injuries for the Terrapins, who have already lost four quarterbacks and starting wide receiver Marcus Leak for the year.

Coach Randy Edsall says, "This is another tough loss for the program. ... To have his senior year cut short is disheartening."
Hartsfield has 3 1/2 sacks, an interception and two fumble recoveries. His 338 career tackles is ranks 15th in school history.
Maryland (4-5, 2-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) has three games left in the season. The Terrapins play at No. 10 Clemson on Saturday.
