Touchdown Tuesday: Annexstad to Douglas
4/2/2019 8:42:00 AM | Football
Freshman hook up for six at Nebraska
Throughout the offseason we will take a look at one of Minnesota's touchdowns from the 2018 season in what we are calling Touchdown Tuesday. Today, we revisit Demetrius Douglas first career touchdown.
Last season featured the first of many for a lot of players wearing the Maroon and Gold. That will happen when you are the youngest team in America. This time it was Gopher freshman Demetrius Douglas who scored his first career touchdown. It was late in the second quarter against Nebraska and quarterback Zack Annexstad found Douglas for a 13-yard score. Douglas caught the ball at the five and then scampered into the end zone for six points.

Douglas caught nine passes for 87 yards and one touchdown in 2018. He also served as the team's primary kick and punt returner. Douglas returned 24 kickoffs for 594 yards (24.75 average) and his long return was 87 yards at Nebraska. He returned seven punts for 113 yards (16.14 average), which included a 69-yard return for a touchdown at Wisconsin. The legacy Gopher (son of Omar Douglas) finished third on the team – behind Mohamed Ibrahim and Tyler Johnson – with 794 all-purpose yards (594 kick return, 113 punt return and 87 receiving).#Gophers Demetrius Douglas scores the first TD of his career - a strike from Zack Annexstad. #SkiUMah #RTB pic.twitter.com/dMb7ji3ld2
