After leaving Maryland football for Richmond last summer, Melvin Keihn was back in College Park Wednesday morning to participate at Maryland’s pro day.
Keihn’s decision to leave the Terps wasn’t easy, and wasn’t about football. The move allowed him to earn a master’s degree in one year and begin supporting his family. Keihn and his girlfriend, Rachel Wanant, welcomed a son in July. While fatherhood is Keihn’s top priority these days, football—and Maryland—haven’t gone away just yet.
“It’s definitely great to be back,” Keihn said. “Obviously Maryland’s always gonna be home. I graduated from here, got my degree from here, I live in Maryland, so it definitely feels great to be back with my old teammates that I played with.
