On Saturday, Maryland football offensive tackle Terez Davis made his transfer portal decision. The former Terrapin is headed south and will play for Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss.

Davis appeared in 10 games for Maryland in 2024 and started two games. The two games he started were at left tackle, and Ole Miss will likely give Davis a shot there. When he signed with Maryland, Davis was a three-star recruit and the 111th-ranked offensive tackle in the country.

Head coach Mike Locksley gave Davis plenty of praise following his time at left tackle.

“For me to have a true freshman play left tackle is a testament to the work that that guy has done, but also the job our coaches have done to get them prepared to play. And I don’t care who it’s against. Terez is going to be a great player for us,” Locksley said.
