With rising junior quarterback Caleb Henderson sitting out Maryland's annual red-white spring game April 22, rising sophomores Tyrrell Pigrome and Max Bortenschlager got the majority of the snaps, with Pigrome handling the reps with the first unit and Bortenschlager getting most of the reps with the second unit.
Both quarterbacks started one game last year in place of Perry Hills, though Pigrome played in 11 games and Bortenschlager just two. As for the spring game, Pigrome was 6-for-14 for 70 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, and Bortenschlager was 7-for-16 for 152 yards and a score.
"There's a couple of those throws I know Pig would like to have back, but he had a couple really nice ones down the field too," Terps head coach DJ Durkin said after the spring game. "I think overall in the spring, those guys have competed really well. We've gotten better at that position through the spring. I feel really confident about us being able to throw the ball and complete balls down the field, which, you couldn't really always say that last year. We've gotten better in that area. Those guys, they'll continue to compete all summer into preseason camp. We'll make a decision as we get into August."
