Maryland football star junior wideout Rakim Jarrett has been named to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation announced Thursday. Each season, the Biletnikoff Award honors the best receiver in college football.
It is a well-deserved honor for Jarrett, who enters his third — and likely final — season of college football. Jarrett shocked the college football world by committing to head coach Michael Locksley’s program on Dec. 18, 2019, dropping his previous commitment to LSU. According to the 247Sports Composite, Jarrett rated as a five-star recruit ranked as the No. 27 player in the class of 2020; he is also the Terps’ 5th-best recruit ever, per 247Sports.
Jarrett shined in each of his first two seasons as a Terp, earning All-Big Ten Honorable Mention accolades in 2020 and 2021. Last season, Jarrett led Maryland with 62 receptions and 829 receiving yards. Jarrett’s five receiving touchdowns were tied for the most on the team with Chigoziem Okonkwo and Carlos Carriere.
The six-foot, 190-pound receiver was the fastest Terp receiver to reach 1,000 yards since NFL star Stefon Diggs. Though Jarrett is getting the preseason shine, he is just one piece of a loaded receiver room. Senior Dontay Demus Jr. is poised to return from last year’s season-ending knee injury, and Jacob Copeland — Florida’s leading receiver in 2021 — looks to make an impact in his first year in a Maryland uniform. Redshirt senior Jeshaun Jones also returns from a season-ending leg injury, and the staff is high on sophomore Tai Felton after a strong spring.
Maryland redshirt junior quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa was recognized twice this week as well, being named to the Maxwell Award and Davey O’Brien Award watch lists, respectively. The Terps open their season at home against Buffalo on Sept. 3.
