Maryland football receives commitment from Eastern Michigan transfer kicker Chad Ryland

Maryland football added some help to its special teams on Wednesday as Eastern Michigan transfer kicker Chad Ryland committed to the program, he announced on Twitter.

Ryland, a junior out of Pennsylvania, is Eastern Michigan’s all-time PATs leader. He finished the 2021 season with 19 field goal makes on 22 total attempts, good enough for a solid 86% clip. He also showed plenty of leg a season ago going 2-for-2 on field goal attempts that were 50 yards or more.

His best game of 2021 came against Western Michigan on Nov. 16, when he made five field goals on five tries.
