Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa was one of 10 players named by the media Wednesday to the Big Ten’s preseason honors list. He became the first Terp selected to the list — which includes five players from each division — since Maryland joined the conference in 2014.

The other nine players included on the honors list were Blake Corum (Michigan), J.J. McCarthy (Michigan), Marvin Harrison Jr. (Ohio State), Olumuyiwa Fashanu (Penn State), Jer’Zhan Newton (Illinois), Cooper DeJean (Iowa), Brevyn Spann-Ford (Minnesota), Tyler Nubin (Minnesota) and Braelon Allen (Wisconsin).

In three years as Maryland’s starting quarterback, Tagovailoa has set numerous records and currently holds the all-time program career marks for passing yards (7,879), passing touchdowns (51), completions (665) and total offense (8,067), among others. Last season, he threw for over 3,000 yards and 18 touchdowns with eight interceptions en route to second-team All-Big Ten honors.
