Maryland was one of two schools in the entire nation to win a football bowl game, a men's basketball NCAA Tournament game and a women's basketball NCAA Tournament game. The only other school to achieve that remarkable accomplishment was Tennessee.

Maryland had three Big Ten Champions in 2022-23 with the baseball, field hockey and men's soccer teams winning titles, finishing with the best records during the regular season. Baseball won back-to-back Big Ten titles to become the first conference team to achieve that since Indiana in 2013-14. For field hockey, it was the Terps' sixth Big Ten crown while men's soccer won its third and first since 2016.

Maryland had six programs rank in the Top 20 in the NCAA in home average attendance in 2022-23 led by men's lacrosse and women's lacrosse, both of which finished third in the nation in average attendance. Additionally, the following Terrapin teams were ranked in the Top 20 in home average attendance: field hockey (4th), men's soccer (7th), women's basketball (10th), and men's basketball (17th). Maryland was one of just six schools to rank in the Top 20 in attendance in both men's and women's basketball.

Six Maryland student-athletes were drafted in the first round of their respective sport's professional drafts. Baseball's Matt Shaw was selected 13th overall in the 2023 MLB Draft by the Chicago Cubs making him the highest draft pick in Maryland baseball history.
