Quarterback Caleb Henderson will no longer play, but will remain part of the Maryland football program according to a report by Washington Post's Roman Stubbs. Henderson, a former transfer from North Carolina who played in just one game last season -- his first of eligibility at Maryland -- "will remain with the program in an off-the-field role," per the report.

UPDATE: Henderson confirmed and expounded on the report in a Tweet Friday afternoon.

Just want to set the record straight I have been hurt since I broke my foot at the end of spring until the end of my season with my elbow. I was not the same after my surgery. I have decided to step away from my playing days but am going to help Maryland football because I believ — CALEB HENDERSON (@C_Hendo6) February 9, 2018

Maryland runs on Durkin! Available now in red and white HERE.

A former four-star recruit from Lake Braddock High (Va.), Henderson was believed to be a top candidate for the starting job last offseason. But a lingering foot injury dropped him on the depth chart and later, after each of Maryland's top two quarterbacks were sidelined for the season with torn ACLs, head coach DJ Durkin opted for sophomore Max Bortenschlager under center. When Bortenschlager was injured, Durkin went with freshman walk-on Ryan Brand over Henderson, whose only action came briefly in the second half of a blowout loss at Ohio State; he attempted one pass and was sacked once.

Henderson was unlikely to factor into the quarterback competition for next season, but his absence leaves just one healthy returning quarterback for spring practice in Bortenschlager. Brand is no longer listed on the official roster, while Durkin's top two passers -- Kasim Hill and Tyrrell Pigrome -- aren't expected to be ready for contact drills. But recruit Tyler DeSue, a three-star from Virginia Beach, enrolled early and should receive plenty of reps in the spring.
