Coach Locksley-"We had a Monday practice, we practiced in the rain, and I can tell you a year ago, maybe two years ago, there’d be a lot of bitching and moaning about: ‘Why can’t we go in the indoor. We’ve got an indoor.’ Well, I looked around, and there was none of that. They were just doing the work, in the rain.”

College Park, MD - The Maryland Athletics Department announced a strategic partnership with Advance NIL (ADVANCE), an industry leader in Name, Image, Likeness Education, Consulting and Athlete Development. As the Terps enter year three of NIL, this partnership will amplify Maryland's Momentum NIL program and seeks to equip all stakeholders involved, including student-athletes, coaches, staff and beyond.

"We are very excited to be partnering with ADVANCE to expand our resources within the Momentum NIL program," said Grayson Wagner, Director of NIL Services. "ADVANCE and their team bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in the space and will play a key role in educating Maryland student-athletes. ADVANCE's involvement will help us continue to prepare student-athletes for success during their college athletic experience and, more importantly, their lives beyond sports."

ADVANCE will visit the Terps on multiple occasions during the 2023-24 academic year, as well as provide on-demand learning modules through their NIL Academy (Powered by Game Plan). The priority will be to provide real-world, practical education that equips student-athletes on how to effectively navigate, market and protect themselves in NIL. As a result, financial management, taxes and contracts will be major points of emphasis. This education is critical not only for NIL, but for building foundational life skills.

"Athletes want more, and we're looking toward partnering with the University of Maryland to enhance NIL opportunities through strategic education initiatives," said Managing Partner and Co-Founder, Courtney Altemus. "NIL has become a critical part of the student-athlete experience and we know our unbiased and comprehensive education will add value to their existing programming and propel their entire department forward. A special thanks to Grayson and the Terps for making education a priority."

This comprehensive partnership activates a number of ADVANCE resources including:

• Advisory and Consulting
• Protective Education | DDMC+
• Financial Education | Money Game
• NIL Academy (Powered by Game Plan)
• Life Skills and More...

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa has been named a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, college football's premier scholar-athlete award, it was announced on Wednesday.

Celebrating its 34th year, the Campbell Trophy® recognizes an individual as the absolute best football scholar-athlete in the nation for his combined academic success, football performance and exemplary leadership.

In addition to excelling on the field, Tagovailoa owned a 3.61 GPA while earning a degree in Family Science from Maryland during the winter of 2022. The record-setting quarterback was also named Academic All-Big Ten in 2022 and selected to the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team in 2021.

An Ewa Beach, Hawaii native, Tagovailoa owns 11 major Maryland single-season and career passing records, including career passing yards (8,991), completions (752) and passing touchdowns (59). Tagovailoa, who has led the Terrapins to back-to-back bowl victories and a 4-0 start to the 2023 season, was voted by his teammates as a team captain in both 2021 and 2022.

Nominated by their schools, which are limited to one nominee each, candidates for the Campbell Trophy must have a GPA of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale, have outstanding football ability as a first team player or significant contributor and have demonstrated strong leadership and citizenship. The class is selected each year by the NFF Awards Committee, which is comprised of a nationally recognized group of media, College Football Hall of Famers and athletics administrators.

Launched in 1959, the NFF National Scholar-Athlete Awards Presented by Fidelity Investments celebrate their 65th year in 2022. The Campbell Trophy® was first awarded in 1990, adding to the program's prestige. Past recipients include two Rhodes Scholars, a Rhodes Scholar finalist, two Heisman Trophy winners and seven first-round NFL draft picks. Named in honor of the late Bill Campbell, the trophy has been prominently displayed inside its official home at the New York Athletic Club since 2013, and the winner is honored each year during a special reception at the storied venue.

Tagovailoa and the Terps host Indiana on Saturday for a 3:30 p.m. Big Ten East battle airing live on the Big Ten Network and the Maryland Sports Radio Network.

Terps assistant Mike Jones is expected in NJ today to see Rivals150 PF Matt Hodge. It would be the second time Maryland has been in to see him in about a week.

Maryland was his last official visit and it seems he is likely to have a decision later today or tomorrow. With that said, I remain extremely confident that he will be a Terp in the very near future.

Here is the full breakdown of snap counts and PFF grades from Saturday's Big Ten-opening win over MSU. One thing worth noting that isn't in the breakdown, Maryland's defenders seem to be doing a better job of being surer tacklers this season. Feels like in years past they would miss quite a few tackles they shouldn't have. Not really seeing much of that anymore. More at the link below. As for the o-line, it seems like Saturday's line is what they will go with moving forward. Four of the five starters played every offensive snap.
