Maryland’s transfer pass-rush spark with NFL-caliber instincts
In the 2019 season, Keandre Jones was Maryland’s most disruptive linebacker, finishing with 74 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 7 sacks and 3 forced fumbles, while being named Honorable Mention All-Big Ten[2][3]. What makes him stand out isn’t just the production: he brought edge, experience from Ohio State, and a fearless, high-motor style that made him the Terps’ top pass-rush threat in 2019[3][15]. If you value a linebacker who can flash as a blitzer and set a physical tone, Jones fit the bill—though his path also shows he was more of a breakout transfer piece than a long-term Maryland star[15].
