You don’t have to look very far to find this former Terp kicker, who I caught up with to talk about current kicker Obi Egekeze.

Ennis, a walk-on who kicked during the 2005 and 2006 seasons, played for the Baltimore Mariners of the American Indoor Football Association last season. He went 1-of-6 on field goal attempts for a team that went a combined 4-of-40 on field goal attempts for the season.

“That’s still an option if I’d like to do that,” said Ennis, who still lifts in the team weight room periodically. “But I’m still training and working out, still kicking. I’m just hoping to break in.”

Ennis is also working as an area manager for Global Sports, a high school sports media company. His parents are season ticket holders, and he has been to all the Terp home games this season.

My talk with Ennis also yielded the fact that although he has never played golf with Egekeze, who grew up about a mile from Augusta National Golf Club, he’s certain he could take his former back-up on the links.

Ennis declared himself “above average” on the course, but lamented its hard to play more than a few times a month until “you have a good job and make bank.”

“I have my bad days and my good days,” Ennis said. “It depends on which Dan Ennis shows up on the golf course.”

Terp coach Ralph Friedgen is on just his third kicker in eight years, and doing this story I got up to speed on two of them. For the record, the other kicker was Nick Novak, the program’s all-time leading scorer. He went 6-of-10 on field goal attempts in six games this season with the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs before being released.
