Maryland head coach Mike Locksley joined the IMS Radio to reflect on the Terps' 4–0 start and first-ever win at Wisconsin. Locksley praised his team's growth and resilience of his young roster and credited true freshmen Malik Washington, Zahir Mathis and Sidney Stewart.
Locksley explained how Maryland has leaned more on high school recruiting than the transfer portal, likening the approach to NFL teams building through the draft. He also described collaboration across the staff and roster management. With new athletic director Jim Smith on board, Locksley sees fresh opportunities to leverage the Baltimore/Washington markets and corporate support to push the program forward.
The coach acknowledged that last season he spread himself too thin and "lost the locker room," but said the addition of new assistants and his time investment in building relationships with players has freed him to reconnect with players. That, he believes, has helped restore strong vibes inside the program. He also praised veteran receiver Shaleak "Punch" Knotts for his patience and breakout performance, highlighted special teams as a new strength, and noted the program's expanded life-skills training to help players manage NIL money.
Also:
-- Locksley reveals his favorite win of all-time and his favorite Maryland uniforms, New Edition song and go-to crab spot.
-- Maryland loses out on a top basketball recruit.
-- What did Buzz Williams get in his latest commitment?
-- Will Maryland beat Wisconsin and what's the updated prediction on the rest of the season?
