Maryland didn't have any top 8 place-winners at the BIG 10's last season, but should put two on the award stand this season, both of which will contend for NCAA qualification.

| 197 Jaron Smith Senior Record: 31-33 |
Plagued by injuries throughout his career, I will at least in partial blame an inability to stay healthy in regards to both his losing record & his lack of credentials thus far. Nevertheless, if Smith can go the entire season healthy, he should qualify for the NCAA championships. Thus far in his career he has many notable wins. Among pinning NCAA qualifiers Stephen Loiseau of Drexel & Lucas Davison of Northwestern, Smith also has wins over Matt Wroblewski of Illinois, Kellan Stout of Pittsburgh and Jake Koser of Navy.

| HWT Zach Schrader Senior Record: 73-46 |
Began his career at West Virginia, then transferred to California Baptist and will now compete in his final season for Maryland. Like Smith, no guarantees for NCAA qualification but does have history that concludes that he is more than capable of being top 33 by year's end. Notable victories include a 4-3 win over John Birchmeier of Navy and a 6-3 victory over Zachary Knighton-Ward of Hofstra.

I really hope to see Smith and Schrader punch through to the NCAA's this season.
