Former Oklahoma State quarterback Daxx Garman has transferred to Maryland, the school announced on Thursday afternoon. Garman earned his undergraduate degree earlier this month and will be immediately eligible for the Terrapins.
"We are excited that Daxx will be joining our program," Maryland head coach Randy Edsall said in a statement. "He is an experienced quarterback who has proven himself as an accomplished starter in the Big 12, helping to lead his team to a postseason bowl game. Daxx is an outstanding student who has displayed tremendous poise and maturity during his college career. He comes in knowing he is competing for the starting quarterback position and is looking forward to the competition and being part of our football family."
Garman played in nine games and started eight last season for the Cowboys, throwing for 2,041 yards, 12 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while completing 54.9 percent. He began his career at Arizona before transferring to Oklahoma State following his freshman year. His best game came against Texas Tech, when he passed for 370 yards and four touchdowns in a 45-35 win.
Maryland is replacing three-year starter C.J. Brown at quarterback. Senior Caleb Rowe has had the inside track on the job, but he missed spring practice while recovering from a torn ACL.
"Coach Edsall has done a great job with the football program and he truly cares about his players," Garman said. "I'm very excited to compete in the Big Ten Conference. Maryland is an outstanding university and I'm excited to further my education and continue playing football. I enjoyed my visit in College Park and I'm excited to have this opportunity."
