Maryland football took its first hit Sunday, with sophomore defensive back Shamar McIntosh announced his plans to hit the portal. Hayes Fawcett first reported the news.
McIntosh wasn’t a contributor this season — he appeared only in the season opener against Florida Atlantic and made just one tackle — but was positioned to potentially play a role in 2026.
