COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Maryland middle linebacker Demetrius Hartsfield is out for the season with a torn ACL.

Hartsfield has 3½ 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.
