By Max Schaeffer

Maryland football’s Taulia Tagovailoa was one of 35 quarterbacks named Tuesday to the Davey O’Brien QB class of 2023. Tagovailoa is now an official candidate to win the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award.

Tagovailoa currently leads the Big Ten in passing yards (2,200), passing touchdowns (19) and points accounted for (140). He does, however, have six interceptions, which is the fourth-most in the conference.

Tagovailoa has quarterbacked the Terps to a 5-3 record this season, with the team currently in the midst of a three-game losing streak.

The 16 semifinalists and three finalists for the 2023 Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award will be announced later this month. The winner will be announced on Dec. 8.
