Maryland’s linebacker corps suffered a huge blow on Monday.
Rivals.com is reporting that former 5-star linebacker and freshman Terrence Lewis has entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal. He spent just one season at Maryland, missing his freshman campaign because of an ACL injury.
He did not appear in any games for the Terrapins during the 2021 season. Maryland is coming off a 40-16 win over Rutgers to secure a bowl berth for the first time under head coach Mike Locksley.

Pre 247Sports, Lewis was a 5-star linebacker as a member of the 2021 recruiting class. He was ranked as the No. 21 overall prospect and the top LB of the cycle. The Opa Locka, Fla., native was the fifth-best player from his home state.
There will be plenty of suitors for Lewis now that he’s in the portal. As a prospect, he received offers from Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, Miami, Nebraska, Oregon, Penn State, Ole Miss and many others.
Lewis is the second major player out of Maryland to hit the portal. Earlier in the day, running back and former 4-star talent Peny Boone also entered his name into the database.
