Maryland officially signs Texas A&M transfer Pharrel Payne

The 6-9, 250-pound forward played in all 34 games for the Aggies last season, starting 14 of them. In his junior year at Texas A&M, he averaged 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game.
Payne was the first player to commit during the offseason under first-year head coach Buzz Williams.

Adding Payne was a crucial move for the Terrapins, who are undergoing a full rebuild after last season. With key players like Derik Queen, Julian Reese, and Jordan Geronimo leaving, securing an experienced presence in the frontcourt was one of Williams’ main priorities.
