Maryland football has hired Baylor cornerbacks coach Brian Stewart as its defensive coordinator, the school announced Tuesday.
Stewart, who will also coach safeties, served as the Terps defensive coordinator from 2012 to 2014 under Randy Edsall, coaching alongside current head coach Mike Locksley when he was the program’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. The 56-year-old has had stints at the college and professional level, most recently coaching defensive backs with the Detroit Lions before moving to Baylor in January 2020.
Stewart replaces John Hoke, who left College Park after two seasons to become the Atlanta Falcons’ defensive backs coach.
