Players announced for 2025 NFL draft from Maryland ft. Jordan Phillips and Tai Felton

The Maryland Terrapins did not have a successful 2024 season. After three straight years of having a winning season alongside bowl game success, the Terrapins regressed significantly, winning only four games and failing to qualify for a bowl game.

Heading into the 2025 season, the Terrapins will be looking to get back in contention in the Big Ten. To do that, they will need to overcome the loss of a few players to the 2025 NFL draft.
