Maryland football: One Terrapin cracks ESPN’s top 100 list for 2024 season

ESPN revealed its top 100 college football players during the 2024 season recently and there was one Maryland Terrapin who cracked the list. After going 4-8 this past season, there weren’t too many Terps who were going to land in the best-of-the-best list, but wide receiver Tai Felton did enough to make it.
ESPN has the prolific wide receiver at No. 85. During ESPN’s preseason ranking, Felton wasn’t ranked, so it was a nice bump for the 1,000-yard receiver. Felton finished 2024 leading Maryland after hauling in 96 receptions for 1,124 yards and nine touchdowns.
“On a team with mediocre QB play, Felton still managed to become one of the most reliable receivers in the country,” Hale wrote on ESPN. “He finished the season with 1,124 receiving yards, 9 touchdowns and 96 catches, tying Travis Hunter for the fourth most in college football. Felton had five 100-yard games and six games with at least nine catches. Felton racked up the fourth-most yards-after-catch in the country among wide receivers, and his 56 catches for a first down ranked third among wideouts.”
Felton enjoyed a nice four-year career for Maryland after signing with the Terrapins in the ’21 class. He appeared in eight games as a true freshman and started seeing starts as soon as his sophomore year. By 2023, Felton led Maryland hauling in six touchdowns and was second on the team catching 48 receptions for 723 yards.

Julian Reese scores 19 points to help No. 13 Maryland pull away from Northwestern for a 74-61 win
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Julian Reese had 19 points and 11 rebounds in his home finale, and No. 13 Maryland pulled away late for a 74-61 victory over Northwestern on Saturday.
The Terrapins (24-7, 14-6 Big Ten) had a sluggish day offensively but did enough to win for the seventh time in eight games — with the only defeat coming on a 65-foot shot at the buzzer against Michigan State late last month.
Ja’Kobi Gillespie scored 17 points for the Terps, and Derik Queen added 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Maryland snapped a three-game skid against Northwestern, which included an overtime loss to the Wildcats in January.
Nick Martinell scored 28 points for Northwestern (16-15, 7-13), which is still likely to reach the Big Ten Tournament despite the loss.
The Wildcats led for a good deal of the first half and were up 42-41 in the second before being outplayed down the stretch.
Take
aways
Northwestern: The Wildcats played Maryland tough this season, but they ultimately didn’t have enough offensive firepower, going 4 for 19 from 3-point range in this one.
Maryland: The Terrapins reached a new level after that loss to Northwestern earlier in the season. They’re 11-2 since then.
Key moment
A 14-4 Maryland run, which included 3-pointers by Gillespie and Rodney Rice, gave the Terps a 55-46 lead. They never looked back.
Key stats
Maryland had 16 offensive rebounds, while Northwestern managed only 17 defensive rebounds. The Terps had a 14-4 edge in second-chance points.
Up next
Maryland will be either the No. 2 or No. 3 seed in the Big Ten Tournament. The top 15 teams qualify. Northwestern was one of five teams tied for the final five spots with one game remaining, with Iowa just a game behind.
