Maryland’s Darryl Morsell declares for NBA draft while putting name in transfer portal — but could return to Terps

Maryland senior guard Darryl Morsell announced Monday that he is entering the transfer portal and declaring for the NBA draft, but will consider all options, including returning to the Terps for the 2021-22 season.

Morsell, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and a four-year starter, averaged nine points, four rebounds and 2.8 assists this past season, helping the Terps reach the second round of the NCAA tournament. The Baltimore native and Mount Saint Joseph graduate was also an All-Big Ten honorable mention and named to the conference’s All-Defensive Team.

“I applaud Darryl for considering all of his options and using the resources available to make an informed decision that is best for his future,” coach Mark Turgeon said in a statement.
