Maryland football to host Big Ten transfer at key position, per report​

The latest on Maryland football's transfer portal efforts.​

Maryland's offensive line desperately needs upgrades after the unit struggled all season, hampering the Terps' offense. The unit will return most of its players, but there's a hole at center, where starter Josh Kaltenberger is out of eligibility.

They'll bring in a Big Ten transfer at the position, Michigan center, ESPN's Max Olson reported on Sunday.

"Michigan transfer center Dominick Giudice has visited Nebraska and Missouri and plans to visit Maryland and South Carolina next, per his agency @Exclusive_SG. Giudice started 5 games for UM this season. One of the top centers in the portal with 2 more seasons of eligibility," he wrote on X.

Giudice, entered the portal a week ago. Alejandro Zuniga of The Michigan Insider wrote:

A former three-star prospect in the class of 2021, Giudice appeared in five games across his freshman and sophomore campaigns. He played both ways for the Wolverines, making the transition from defensive end to offensive lineman during the 2022 season.
But in 2024, Giudice was a surprise starter at center for the Wolverines, winning the starting job over Greg Crippen. He featured against Fresno State, Texas, Arkansas State, USC and Minnesota before injuries gave Crippen another opportunity at the role. Crippen would start the remainder of the season, including against Michigan State, Oregon and Ohio State.
Giudice, a former standout at Mater Dei (New Jersey) High School, said when he committed that Michigan was his "dream school." At the time, it also represented his first Power Five offer.

"After 4 incredible years at Michigan, I've decided to enter the Transfer Portal," Giudice wrote. "I want to thank Michigan for giving me the opportunity to play football at this amazing university. I'm super blessed and grateful to my lord and savior Jesus Christ for the many blessings He has given me throughout this journey. I'm excited for what's ahead and look forward to making the most of my remaining 2 years of eligibility."

This could end up looking like a trade, with speculation swirling that departing Maryland quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. could land at Michigan.
