DETROIT -- Maryland linebacker Shane Cockerille has been ruled ineligible to play in the Quick Lane Bowl. School officials declined to provide details before the game Monday against Boston College. Cockerille led the Terrapins with 108 tackles and ranked third in the Big Ten with nine tackles per game, earning honorable mention All-Big Ten recognition. The junior from Baltimore was converted into a linebacker after playing fullback and quarterback at Maryland. Without Cockerille, the Terps' defense gave up 348 yards of offense to the Eagles in a 36-30 loss on Monday. Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
