Terrence Lewis, the headlining piece of Maryland football’s 2021 recruiting class, will not participate in spring practice after undergoing surgery in January for a torn ACL, coach Mike Locksley announced Tuesday.
Lewis, the top-rated inside linebacker in his class and a five-star prospect, played his senior season of high school football with the injury and Maryland’s doctors discovered it upon his early enrollment at College Park.
Locksley did not provide a timeline for Lewis’ rehabilitation nor say whether the Florida native would be able to return for the beginning of Maryland’s 2021 season, which begins Sept. 4 against West Virginia.
