Despite capturing its sixth win and becoming bowl eligible for the first time since 2016, Maryland football has had a few key departures via the transfer portal with even more surprising news coming on Tuesday.
Linebacker Branden Jennings, a true freshman linebacker who was named as a 2021 Midseason True Freshman All-American by ESPN, will be entering the transfer portal, per the NCAA Transfer Portal Twitter account. Jennings was a solid factor on defense for Maryland this season. He played in seven of the Terps’ 12 games in 2021 and came away with 23 total tackles, 17 of which were solo.
