COLLEGE PARK, Md. – University of Maryland head coach Michael Locksley has announced the addition of punter Bryce McFerson to the Terrapin football program on Friday.
McFerson, who has three years of eligibility remaining, joins the Terps after serving as Notre Dame’s primary punter during the 2023 season.
An Indian Trail, North Carolina native, McFerson booted 38 punts this past season for the Irish and averaged 45.1 yards per kick. He connected on 13 punts of 50 yards or more in 2023, including twice blasting career-long punts of 59-yards against N.C. State and in Notre Dame’s bowl win over Oregon State. McFerson placed five punts inside the 20 with just two touchbacks.
McFerson served as Notre Dame’s primary holder for field goals and extra points during the second half of the 2023 season. He also excels in kickoffs as 63 of his 67 attempts while at Metrolina Christian Academy went for touchbacks during his senior season.
McFerson was the top-ranked punter in the country by 247 Sports and Chris Sailer Kicking coming out of high school. He was rated as the No. 5 kicker/punter in the country by ESPN and was selected to play in the Under Armour All-American Game.
