Maryland signs Howard Howard will return to Maryland for his 2026 season, Matt Zenitz of 247Sports reports.

Impact For 2025, Howard transferred from Maryland to Auburn. As part of the Tigers, he logged 10 receptions and 84 receiving yards, both career-lows. Thus, Howard will re-enroll at Maryland. For the 2023 and 2024 Terrapins, he recorded more than 150 receiving yards. The question becomes whether or not Howard logs triple digits a third time. Without him at tight end, the 2025 Terrapins used a lot of Dorian Fleming, who recorded 351 receiving yards (8.8 averaged per reception) and three touchdowns last year.

Impact Howard being available is huge for Maryland ahead of this contest, though it's uncertain if he'll be able to log significant snaps.

Howard will look to return next week when the Terrapins face Virginia on the road. Dylan Wade figures to be the top tight-end option Saturday against the Spartans.
