The Big Ten announced its defensive all-conference selections Wednesday, with four Terps named honorable mentions.

Linebacker Chance Campbell, defensive backs Tarheeb Still and Nick Cross, and defensive lineman Mosiah Nasili-Kite were the four Terps to receive the honor.

Campbell, a junior, has averaged 11 tackles per game and 5.7 solo tackles per game, both of which are good for third in the Big Ten and rank in the top-20 nationally. Campbell leads Maryland with 5.5 tackles for a loss and also scored his first career touchdown on a fumble recovery against Penn State.

Still showed out in a big way for the Terps in his first year in College Park. He leads the nation with an average of two pass breakups per game, highlighted by four against Rutgers last week — the most in a single game for any Big Ten player this season.

Cross, a sophomore, has now received All-Big Ten honors in back to back seasons. He played a major role in Maryland’s secondary to shut down opposing receivers. He ranks second on the team in pass breakups and third in tackles with 23. Cross also recorded an interception and forced fumble on the year, both coming against the Nittany Lions.

Nasili-Kate has four sacks on the year, which leads the Terps. He’s averaged 0.7 sacks per game, ranking fourth in the Big Ten. He has 20 tackles and 5.0 tackles for a loss this season as well.
