Freshman linebacker Nihym Anderson is the first player to leave Maryland football since ESPN published a series of reports detailing an alleged “toxic culture” within the program.
Anderson is leaving the program before his first season even starts, Testudo Times has confirmed. InsideMDSports was first to report the news.
Anderson is a 6’1, 239-pound linebacker out of southern New Jersey. A three-star prospect coming out of Vineland High School, he was one of five freshmen linebackers to sign with the Terps in the Class of 2018. Graduate transfer Tre Watson also made his way to Maryland, as did senior Wyatt Cook, who was previously on a scholarship at Purdue.
