This is a Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.
Maryland football wide receiver Tai Felton, linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II and defensive lineman Jordan Phillips will represent the Terps at the 2024 Big Ten Media Day, the team confirmed Thursday.
The event, which will host a total of 54 student-athletes from across the conference, is scheduled to take place from July 23-25 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The Maryland players and head coach Michael Locksley are set to meet with the media on July 25.
Felton, who was a All-Big Ten third-team selection in 2023, started all 13 games last season. He recorded 48 receptions for 723 receiving yards, averaging 15.1 yards per catch, which ranked fifth in the Big Ten.
Hyppolite II, also an All-Big Ten third-team honoree last year, led the team with 66 tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss and a sack. He returns for his fifth year of action in 2024.
Phillips, a transfer from Tennessee prior to the 2023 season, impressed in his debut campaign with the Terps, making 28 tackles and recording 1.5 tackles for loss.
