Method
- Every quarterback who played at Maryland since 2004, ranked by passing yards over his games there. Bowl and playoff games count.
- The numbers here start in 2004, so a quarterback who played at Maryland before then isn't here.
- A decade counts his passing yards at Maryland in its seasons.
- The record book's numbers are the school's own. Where they and the box scores differ for one player, the box scores are missing a game or count bowls another way.
- A quarterback still playing at Maryland is counted at tonight's numbers against the record book's, which run through the 2025 season.
