Maryland Lands Sharpshooting 6'9" Big Man

Maryland men's basketball coach Buzz Williams has added Maban Jabriel, a 6-foot-9 transfer, to the 2026 roster, prioritizing experienced size. Jabriel spent his first two seasons at Queens University, where he displayed a unique skillset, including a 43.2% three-point shooting average last season.

Although Jabriel did not have enough attempts to qualify for NCAA leaderboards, his 3-point accuracy was competitive with top Division I players. He contributed 7.7 points and 3.8 rebounds per game in 19.8 minutes off the bench for Queens, who won the Atlantic Sun Conference and reached the NCAA Tournament.

Jabriel is the fourth transfer to join Maryland, alongside Bishop Boswell, Robert Jennings II, and Tomislav Buljan. His defensive capabilities, particularly against pick-and-roll plays, offer a distinct advantage over previous players, suggesting he will fill a valuable role for the Terps.
