How'd He Get to College Park?

Conaboy had a decorated high school career highlighted by his first-team Class AAA All-Pennsylvania selection as a senior. He was tabbed as the 2009 Hookey Reap Award recipient which is handed to the top offensive lineman in Lackawanna County. When he wasn't busy paving the way for his backs on the field, he organized the Relay for Life, which raised money for cancer patients.

Profiling the entire team

Conaboy has climbed the ranks through the program, going from a redshirt freshman to a key reserve to a staple on the offensive line for the Terps. Last season, Conaboy started all 13 games, served on the team's leadership council, was All-Academic ACC and received The Public Service Award at the team banquet. He was part of the front that guided C.J. Brown to a 3,000 yard passing season for the first time at Maryland since 1994.

Nickname:

Salvation Army

Career Highlight:

Winning The Public Service Award last season, something tells me community service means a little more than football to Conaboy.

Dream Season:

Controlling the center position and riding out his last season in a Terp uniform with a double-digit win season.

2014 Prospectus:

He is in the driver seat and is almost a lock for starting center as he brings experience, talent and size to the front line. Stephen Grommer is the only other center listed on the depth chart and Grommer hasn't appeared in a game since joining Maryland in 2012. Conaboy impressed last year, particularly on the run-blocking front, which many people viewed to be his weakest attribute.

HIs great 2013 season hasn't gone unnoticed, as he was recently selected to the 2014 Rimington Trophy Watch List, which goes to the best center in the FBS. Conaboy was among 66 centers selected for the Watch List. In C.J. Brown's last season, it's good to know he has a trustworthy and experienced teammate snapping him the ball.

Up Next:

Next up we have a pair of players. The first has a similar name to the side performer of Drake's "Side Pieces" single at the ESPYs and the second's last name rhymes with a well known city in Florida.
