McDaniel College

WESTMINSTER, Md. - Senior Chris Wilson returned an interception 56 yards for a touchdown as the McDaniel College football team closed out its home schedule against Johns Hopkins for Senior Day and Parents & Family Weekend.

The Green Terror (1-8, 0-6 CC) defense scored for the second time in the last four games as Wilson recorded his second pick six of the season. He returned one 36 yards for a touchdown at Muhlenberg on October 17.

McDaniel forced two Blue Jay turnovers and have forced 18 this season with 11 interceptions and seven fumble recoveries.

Meanwhile, Johns Hopkins (4-5, 3-3 CC) forced three McDaniel turnovers and turned them into 20 points.

The Blue Jays used a balanced offensive attack that totaled 476 yards, including 206 rushing and 270 passing. They scored on seven of their first 10 possessions and totaled almost 34 minutes in time of possession.

After a three-and-out on its first possession, Johns Hopkins capitalized on a Green Terror turnover that resulted in the visitors first score of the game, a 3-yard touchdown pass from Milan Desai to Robby Enright with 9:47 remaining in the first quarter.

Desai completed 14-of-23 passes for 267 and four touchdowns to four different receivers.

The touchdown drive was the first of three consecutive for the Blue Jays who led 20-0 early in the second quarter, but with 9:03 left in the second quarter, Wilson highlighted his final home game with his 56-yard interception return for a touchdown to pull McDaniel within 20-6.

However, Hopkins would score on its next three drives to take a 40-6 halftime lead. It would add to that on the first play of the third quarter with an interception that led to a 3-play, 16-yard drive and a 47-6 advantage just one miniute into the second half.

The McDaniel offense had two drives inside the red zone, but they ended on an interception and turnover on downs.

Sophomore Cordae James returned after missing last week's game and led the offense with 12 carries for 42 yards. First-year quarterback Dylan Webster saw his first action of the season, completing a four-yard pass in the fourth quarter while junior Jordan Harper completed a pass to sophomore Isaiah Walters for 22 yards late in the first quarter to put McDaniel in the red zone.

Sophomore Jack Penzone had two receptions for 46 yards while junior Taevon LeGrande continued his strong season with a team-leading seven tackles.

The Green Terror wrap up the 2026 season on the road at Gettysburg next Saturday, November 14. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. from Shirk Field.
