Georgia Tech transfer Tafara Gapare has officially signed with the Maryland, per release.
The 6-foot-9 sophomore forward joins the Terps after averaging 5.1 points and 3.5 rebounds last season with the Yellowjackets. He is the fourth transfer added to the Maryland roster ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.
“Tafara is a long and skilled forward who bolsters our line-up,” said head coach Kevin Willard in a release. “He adds a different dynamic for us defensively as an athletic rim protector on top of his development the last two seasons offensively.”
The Wellington, New Zealand, started 15 of the 29 games played, averaging a career-high 18.2 minutes per game. Over the last seven games of the season, he saw his output increase to 7.7 points and 6.1 rebounds. He also scored a career-high 20 points with six rebounds in the Yellow Jackets’ win over Penn State.
Prior to his time in Atlanta, Gapare began his collegiate career in 2022-23 at Massachusetts where he averaged 3.4 points and 2.1 rebounds in 30 games for the Minutemen.
Gapare ranked as the No. 1 player in Connecticut and No. 10 power forward by 247sports after spending his senior prep year (2021-22) at the South Kent School. He was a four-star recruit and ranked among the Top-50 nationally.
The Terps have also previously announced the additions of transfer guards Rodney Rice (Virginia Tech), Ja’Kobi Gillespie (Belmont), and Selton Miguel (South Florida) as well as the signing of freshmen center Derik Queen (Baltimore, Md.) and guard Malachi Palmer (Harrisburg, Pa.).
