Running back Albert Reid and safety Zach Dancel will transfer from Maryland, an athletic department spokesman said Friday.
Both are expected to graduate in the next few months, meaning they would be eligible to play immediately at another Football Bowl Subdivision school.
A former four-star recruit out of Friendship Collegiate Academy in Washington, Reid showed some promise as a sophomore, rushing 70 times for 294 yards and two touchdowns, including a career-high 75 yards on 15 carries against Clemson. He was injured for most of last season, rushing just 16 times for 61 yards and a touchdown.
The 5-foot-10, 215-pound Reid was not expected to see much playing time next season behind rising senior starter Brandon Ross, as well as juniors Wes Brown and Jasquille Veii. Veii played both running back and slot wide receiver last season but is expected to be used almost exclusively as a ball carrier next season.
Dancel, who grew up in Ellicott City and attended Good Counsel, spent his freshman year at New Mexico. He transferred to Maryland as a sophomore and, after redshirting, played mostly special teams in 2013 and was a reserve safety until Sean Davis was moved to cornerback late last season.
The 6-foot, 200-pound Dancel played in 10 games last season, starting one, and finished with 15 tackles and two pass breakups. Dancel, who earned All-Academic honors from the Big Ten Conference, was relegated to backup duties again this spring with the return of A.J Hendy, a graduate student, from injury and the emergence of junior Denzel Conyers.
