Not long after putting spring practice 2016 to bed, Maryland’s linebacking corps has taken a significant and unexpected hit.
On Instagram over the weekend, Abner Logan announced that he has decided to transfer out of the Terrapins football program. As Logan will be leaving the Terps as a graduate transfer, he would be eligible to play immediately in 2016 if his next destination is at the FBS level.Never thought this would be my last time running out of the “tunnel”.....I want to thank everyone that has stood by me and supported me throughout my career at Maryland. I especially want to acknowledge the unbelievable bond I’ve created with my brothers that will last a life time. For my last year of eligibility I will be playing football elsewhere. Again thanks to the administration, coaches, and friends that helped and supported me throughout the way but it’s come to the consensus that it is time to move on. King Ab ✌🏾️

After tearing his ACL in August of last year, Logan missed the entire 2015 season. He was projected as a starter at linebacker under first-year head coach D.J. Durkin.
Logan was suspended for the first six games of the 2014 season by the university for unspecified reasons. He came back to play the final seven games of the year.
In 2013 as a redshirt freshman, he started four of the 12 games in which he played.
