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.

Police said Dequan Gravely, 23, of Charles County, was driving northbound on Route 210 near Pine Drive when his Mercedes collided with the school bus turning left from the southbound lanes.
The driver of a car involved in a crash with a Prince George’s County school bus in Accokeek, Maryland, on Friday has been identified.
Prince George’s County police said Dequan Gravely, 23, of Bryans Road in Charles County, was driving northbound on Route 210 near Pine Drive around 7:20 a.m. when his Mercedes collided with the school bus turning left from the southbound lanes.
Investigators said the crash happened in the intersection, causing the school bus to flip onto its side. Gravely died at the scene.
The school bus driver was transported to a hospital and treated for injuries that were not considered life-threatening. Police said no students were on the bus at the time of the crash.
Investigators said they believe debris from the collision damaged a third vehicle. The driver of that vehicle “declined medical attention,” police said.
The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit is investigating. Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators at 301-731-4422.

A D.C. man won $5 million from a scratch-off lottery ticket in Maryland last week, and the matching number that netted him the prize happened to be his age.
Talk about a birthday surprise! A D.C. man won $5 million from a scratch-off lottery ticket in Maryland last week, and the matching number that netted him the prize happened to be his age.
Maurice Williams, a school bus driver in D.C., claimed the first top prize on a $5,000,000 LUXE scratch-off. He had used his $50 winnings from a previous LUXE scratch-off ticket to buy a new one the next day.
In a release from the Maryland Lottery, Williams said he didn’t know he had won until he scanned the ticket: “It’s crazy because the matching number was 59 and I just turned 59 the other day.”
Williams said he sat in shock for a while before calling his mother.
He said he plans to buy his mother a house with the winnings and then save up.
Two more top prizes from the scratch-off have yet to be claimed, the Maryland Lottery said, as well as nine $200,000 prizes, 10 $50,000 prizes and thousands of prizes ranging from $50 to $10,000.
