Maryland QB Taulia Tagovailoa Opts Out of Music City Bowl

The Big Ten's all-time passing yards leader will begin preparation for the 2024 NFL draft, leaving quarterback duties to Billy Edwards Jr. and Cameron Edge.

Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa, the Big Ten's all-time passing yards leader, is opting out of the team's upcoming Music City Bowl against Auburn.
Tagovailoa set almost every Maryland passing record, including yards, touchdowns, career completions, career completion percentage and career 300-yard games.
The decision to opt out is likely to avoid potential injury leading up to the 2024 NFL draft.
Redshirt sophomore Billy Edwards Jr. and redshirt freshman Cameron Edge are expected to handle quarterback duties against Auburn in the Music City Bowl.
Tagovailoa's departure marks the end of a record-setting career at Maryland, where he led the Terrapins to three consecutive bowl appearances for the first time since 2006 to '08.
