COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Maryland defensive back Richard Taylor has been awarded one more year of eligibility by the NCAA.

The native of Centreville, Va., has played in 23 career games, mostly on special teams. He redshirted in 2004 and played a reserve role in 2005 and 2006.
He graduated from the University in 2007 and is currently pursuing a master's in real estate development.
