After four seasons on the Maryland basketball team, 6’6 senior guard Cliff Tucker officially traded-in his high-tops for football cleats. Much to the delight of QB Danny O’Brien, Cliff Tucker will be showcased as the Terrapins’ new deep threat playing wide receiver. Tucker, who hails from El Paso, Texas, is no stranger to football as he was a well known star amassing 939 receiving yards and 19 TDs during his senior year for Chapin High School. Several Big 12...
Maryland’s redshirt freshman QB Danny O’Brien became the first Terrapin to win the coveted ACC Rookie of the Year award. The 6’3, 215 lbs O’Brien easily won with landslide numbers taking 54 of the possible 61 votes. He is the key reason why Maryland boasts an 8-4 record and flirted for the Atlantic Division Title well into the season. The Kernersville, North Carolina, native had a stellar season passing for 2,257 yards with 21 TDs and only 6 INTs...

Expectations in College Park, and among Maryland alumni are high for the Terps...
Terrapin fans don’t have a lot to be optimistic about when it comes to Maryland football and all eyes will be on Ralph Friedgen in 2010. The former Maryland player took over the coaching reigns in 2001 and led the team to a spectacular 10-2 record and a top ten finish. Nine years later, Friedgen satisfied the prognosticators by going 2-10 and finishing the regular season with the team’s first ten-loss season in school history. As training camp opens,...
