Before departing from College Park to become the new associate head coach and special teams coordinator at Rice, former Maryland assistant Pete Lembo extended the first Power Five offer to a multi-sport tight end who the Terps covet for his ideal size and overall athleticism.

Although Lembo has since left the Terps program, Maryland’s offer to Hoggard (Wilmington, NC) 2019 tight end Chris Toudle still stands and the 6-foot-4, 215-pound North Carolina native is still viewing the verbal as his most significant one to date.
