Locksley excited to lead Terps football past tumultuous 2018

CHICAGO (AP) — When Mike Locksley was hired in December as Maryland's head football coach — the first black head coach in program history — he knew the timing was perfect.

"This is a dream come true for my family and I am able to come home and coach the university that I grew up rooting for as a kid," Locksley said Thursday at Big Ten football media days. Locksley replaced Durkin, whom the university fired amid public pressure.Read more on NewsOK.com
