COLLEGE PARK, MD – Maryland football linebacker Jaishawn Barham and running back Roman Hemby were named Freshman All-Americans by College Football News, the publication announced Tuesday.
 
Barham was selected to the First Team and Hemby was selected to the Third Team. Maryland is one of only two schools (Penn State) in the Big Ten to have multiple All-American selections. 
 
A linebacker from District Heights, MD, Barham led all Big Ten freshmen with 53 tackles over 11 games played in his first season as a Terp. Barham is one of only three Terps to start every game he played on the defensive side of the ball and had over five tackles in six different games. 
 
He led the team with 6.5 tackles for loss, while also tying for the team lead and ranking 18th in the Big Ten with 4.0 sacks. Barham was a Honorable Mention All-Big Ten selection, the Big Ten Freshman of the Week on October 10 and a Midseason Freshman All-American by The Athletic, while also being chosen as a Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year Award Semifinalist. 
 
A running back from Edgewood, MD, Hemby recorded 924 rushing yards in his redshirt freshman season and led all Big Ten freshmen with 1,200 yards from scrimmage. The running back scored 10 touchdowns on the ground, the most for a Terrapin since 2015. 
 
Hemby rushed for 100 yards in four of Maryland's seven wins (114 vs. Buffalo, 151 vs. SMU, 107 at Indiana & 179 vs. Northwestern), tied with Anthony McFarland Jr. for the most in a single season of any freshman in Maryland history. He had two games of three touchdowns (Northwestern & Rutgers), and is the first Terp to ever be named Big Ten Freshman of the Week twice. 

Barham, Hemby and the Terps will wrap up their 2022 campaign in the Duke's Mayo Bowl on December 30 vs. No. 23 NC State. Buy tickets here.
