Profile
Named Maryland’s 37th head coach in December 2018, Locksley won the 2018 Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant before returning to College Park; he guided the Terps to three consecutive winning seasons and bowl victories from 2021-23—the first time Maryland won bowl games in three straight seasons. Under Locksley Maryland’s offense set single-season program records in 2021 for total yards (5,740) and passing yards (3,960), and he coached Taulia Tagovailoa to finish as the Big Ten’s all-time leader in passing yards (11,256).
Coaching Approach
Pass-leaning offensive architecture and quarterback development: Locksley’s Maryland offenses ranked top-five in the Big Ten across seven offensive categories in 2023 (including 3,626 passing yards and 5,035 total yards) and his Alabama offenses averaged 45.6 points and 522.0 yards per game in 2018, demonstrating a sustained emphasis on high-output passing attacks and quarterback tutelage (e.g., Taulia Tagovailoa’s school and Big Ten passing records).
