Chad Ryland’s quest for perfection finds a home in College Park

Ryland has been one of Maryland’s best transfer portal additions this season.

Maryland football kicker Chad Ryland is always searching for the perfect ball. But between the 66 field goals he’s made at the collegiate level and the thousands of kicks he’s made with no one watching, he’s never found it. Not because he hasn’t kicked it, because to him, there’s always room for growth.

No one has chased more balls or watched the swinging motion of Ryland’s leg more than his dad, Todd Ryland.

When Chad is back home in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, he constantly enlists his dad to help him as he kicks dozens of balls through uprights.
