Twenty-three former Maryland Terps are officially suiting up for the NFL this season, with big names like Stefon Diggs returning to the DMV with the Commanders on an $8M deal, DJ Moore landing a massive $110M extension with the Bills, and Jalen Huskey becoming the only Terp drafted—selected third-round by the Jaguars. Others like Chig Okonkwo, Nick Cross, Deonte Banks, Jordan Phillips, and Chad Ryland are stepping into key roles or building momentum, while undrafted gems like Alan Herron join practice squads. It’s a historic showing for Maryland football across the league.

Maryland Terrapins football kicks off 2026 with a high-stakes home opener against Hampton, aiming for their 19th straight non-conference win. Last year’s dominant 39-7 debut featuring freshman QB Malik Washington—whose record-setting debut included over 250 yards and three TDs—sets the tone. The defense forced six turnovers, including a pick-six, and Maryland cruised to victory despite FAU’s stats. With expectations sky-high and the crowd roaring, the Terps are poised to repeat history and start the season with another emphatic win.
