MM 7.20: Three Maryland football players receive preseason All-Big Ten honors from PFF

This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.

Three Maryland football players were named to Pro Football Focus’ preseason All-Big Ten teams.

Redshirt senior quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa and redshirt junior offensive lineman Delmar Glaze were named to the second team, while senior defensive back Beau Brade was selected to the third team.

Last year, Tagovailoa threw for over 3,000 yards and led the program to its second straight bowl victory. He was consequentially named to the All-Big Ten second team. He ranks first in program history in a variety of career statistical categories, including passing yards, completions, completion percentage and passing touchdowns.

Glaze started every game on Maryland’s offensive line last season, predominantly playing at right tackle. Although it was his first season as a full-time starter, he posted a PFF grade of 85.7, which was seventh-highest among all tackles in the FBS.

Brade started all 13 games for the Terps at safety last year and led the team in tackles with 85. He also grabbed two interceptions and forced five pass breakups.
