The final installment of our Maryland football position previews features the special teams unit. While the Terps’ special teams certainly had positive moments last season, they were inconsistent and often put the team in difficult situations. However, the Terps made vast improvements in areas that they certainly needed.
Perhaps the most valuable addition Maryland received in the transfer portal was former Eastern Michigan kicker Chad Ryland.
Ryland was statistically one of the best kickers in the nation last season and bolsters an offense that was already dominant.
“Probably one of the best pickups we’ve had out of the transfer portal,” head coach Mike Locksley said of Ryland.
