The Maryland Terrapins football team was founded in 1892 to represent the University of Maryland in intercollegiate competition and has participated in the sport all but one season since its inception.〔 Over the course of the team's history, the Terrapins' performance has run the gamut from national championships to winless seasons.〔"All-Time Honors", ''2007 Maryland Football Media Guide'', p. 160, University of Maryland, 2007.〕〔"National Poll Champions", (''2007 NCAA Division I Football Records Book'' ) (PDF), p. 77, National Collegiate Athletic Association, 2007.〕 During periods of both ascendancy and mediocrity, individual Maryland players of exceptional ability have received various accolades. In total, Terrapins have been named to an All-America team 55 times, an All-Atlantic Coast Conference team 188 times, and an All-Southern Conference team 14 times. Of the All-America selections, twenty-one players received first-team honors a total of twenty-six times. Eleven players were named consensus first-team All-Americans a total of twelve times, and five players were named first-team All-Americans by unanimous consensus. Terrapins have won several nationally recognized individual awards, including the Chuck Bednarik Award, the Dick Butkus Award, the Lombardi Award, and the Outland Trophy, each of which recognizes the best player at a particular position in a given season. The College Football Hall of Fame has inducted six former Maryland players, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame has enshrined two. Four former Maryland head coaches have also been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. The University of Maryland Athletic Hall of Fame has inducted sixty-two former football lettermen and two former head coaches who were not alumni. ==All-Americans== Each year, numerous publications and organizations release lists of All-America teams, hypothetical rosters of players considered the best in the nation at their respective positions.〔(All-American ), ''Random House Unabridged Dictionary'', Info Please Database, 1997, retrieved June 17, 2009.〕 Some selecting organizations choose more than one roster of All-Americans, in which case they use the terms "first team", "second team", and "third team" as appropriate.〔Ted Gangi, (FW All-America since 1944 ) (PDF), Football Writers Association of America, retrieved January 9, 2008.〕 Some selectors also award honorable mentions to outstanding players who did not make any of their teams.〔(SI.com's 2008 College Football All-Americans ), ''Sports Illustrated'', December 15, 2008, retrieved June 17, 2009.〕 The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), a college sports governing body, uses officially recognized All-America selectors to determine the "consensus" selections. These are based on a point system in which a player is awarded three points for every selector that names him to the first team, two points for the second team, and one point for the third team. The individual who receives the most points at his position is called a consensus All-American.〔(2008-09 NCAA Statistics Policies ) (PDF), National Collegiate Athletic Association, February 10, 2009.〕 Over time, the sources used to determine the consensus selections have changed,〔"All-America Selections", (''2007 NCAA Division I Football Records Book'' ) (PDF), p. 216, National Collegiate Athletic Association, 2007.〕 and since 2002, the NCAA has used these five selectors to determine consensus All-Americans: the Associated Press (AP), American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), Football Writers Association of America (FWAA), ''The Sporting News'' (TSN), and the Walter Camp Football Foundation (WCFF).〔(Award Winners and All-Americans ) (PDF), ''2008 Division I Football Records Book'', National Collegiate Athletic Association, 2008.〕 In 1923, end Bill Supplee was selected to the Associated Press second team, which made him the first Maryland player to be named an All-American.〔David Ungrady, ''(Tales from the Maryland Terrapins )'', p. 26, Sports Publishing LLC, 2003, ISBN 1-58261-688-4.〕 Guard Bob Ward became the first Terrapin named to a first team when he received that honor from AP and the Football Writers Association of America in 1950. The following year, Ward became Maryland's first consensus All-American when he was unanimously chosen by every NCAA-recognized selector. Five other Terrapins have earned consensus All-America honors: Jack Scarbath in 1952, Stan Jones in 1953, Bob Pellegrini in 1955, Randy White in 1974, and linebacker E. J. Henderson in 2001. Henderson was also named a consensus All-American in 2002, which made him the first, and thus far only, Maryland player to receive the honor twice.〔"Consensus All-America Selections: Maryland", (''2007 NCAA Division I Football Records Book'' ) (PDF), p. 226, National Collegiate Athletic Association, 2007.〕 |} 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Maryland Terrapins football honorees」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
