Taivon Jacobs has spent all of his Maryland football career playing in the shadows of others. Given that Jacobs first arrived in College Park in 2013, that’s a long time to be overlooked.
First it was his big brother, Levern, who came to Maryland a year before Taivon in 2012 and left in 2016 ranked seventh in program history in receptions (130) and 12th in receiving yards (1,544).
Then it was DJ Moore, who as a sophomore emerged as Maryland’s top wideout and left after a junior year in 2017 when he caught a single-season school-record 80 passes and was named the Big Ten’s top receiver.
