Maryland tight ends seek to elevate offensive performance this season

Maryland football looks to its tight ends, Dorian Fleming and Preston Howard, for offensive success as the 2026 season approaches. Last year, tight ends recorded just 49 catches, below expectations. With new offensive coordinator Clint Trickett prioritizing tight end usage, expectations are higher for Fleming, who had 40 catches in 2025, and Howard, returning from Auburn. The room has expanded with several freshmen, adding depth to a previously thin position. The Terps aim to improve their pass-catching contributions as they prepare for upcoming matchups.
