Maryland football starting quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. entered the transfer portal, ESPN’s Pete Thamel first reported Thursday night.
Edwards, a redshirt junior, started in 11 of Maryland’s 12 games this season, only missing the season finale against No. 4 Penn State due to injury.
He started the season fast, throwing for 11 touchdowns and only two interceptions through the first five games of the season. But his production tapered off as Big Ten play progressed, throwing just two touchdowns and five interceptions over his last four starts.
He still ended the season near the top of the conference in multiple statistics, though, ranking third in passing yards (2,881), eighth in completion percentage (65%) and 10th in passing touchdowns (15).
