Nick Blake brings a shot-maker’s touch and Terps legacy to Maryland’s backcourt
Nick Blake, a 6-foot-2 freshman guard for Maryland in the 2025-26 season, arrives as a high-volume perimeter shooter with family pedigree and a clear strength from deep: he hit 38% from three and took the vast majority of his shots from behind the arc as a senior at Olympia High. He’s not the loudest stat-stuffer, but the differentiator is simple—he spaces the floor, plays with confidence, and fits a modern guard role if a team needs a willing shooter who understands the moment. The wildcard is upside: as Steve Blake’s son, he brings basketball IQ and composure, not just name recognition.
