Maryland football head coach Michael Locksley made one thing clear Wednesday when he addressed the media before the first practice of fall camp: Maryland will be a “defensive-led” team in the post-Taulia Tagovailoa era.
The Terps enter August without a clear-cut starting quarterback for the first time since 2019. Locksley, entering his sixth year as the program’s head coach, said Tagovailoa’s successor won’t be announced until his team takes the field in its season opener against UConn.
In the meantime, Locksley will turn to his veteran defense for leadership as the Terps search for a fourth-straight bowl game appearance, a feat they haven’t achieved since 1982-85.
