Three Maryland football players — defensive lineman Cam Spence, wide receiver Chris Jones and linebacker Nnamdi Egbuaba — have ended their college careers due to medical reasons, Terps head coach Mike Locksley announced Monday.
While Spence and Jones will stay with the team as student assistants, Egbuaba will complete his master’s degree in supply chain management.
As far as Maryland’s depth goes, Spence’s departure couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Terps. After not appearing in any game action during his first two years on the roster due to injuries, the redshirt sophomore was expected to be a rotational player for Maryland’s defensive line, which is the position with the most question marks entering fall camp.
