As the Maryland football team takes the field for its final regular season game of the 2023 season, it will also mark the end of the road for the 2023 senior class—a class that will be remembered fondly for leaving the program in a much better place than they found it.
During the class’ four years in College Park, they accomplished a large amount, highlighted by leading the program to three consecutive bowl games for the first time since 2006-08. The class is also 2-0 in bowl games so far, with the hopes of moving to 3-0 in December. The seniors have racked up 23 wins, including the shortened 2020 seasons, with highlight wins over teams including: Penn State, West Virginia, Virginia Tech, Michigan State (twice), NC State & Virginia & Nebraska.
Perhaps most significantly, however, is the mark that this year’s senior class made on the program’s culture. Under this class’ leadership, the program has transitioned into a player-driven culture where they hold each other accountable and take ownership themselves.
That improved culture will be this program’s lasting legacy and it will extend for many years to come under head coach Michael Locksley.
And as the group heads into the final regular season game, a few student-athletes have taken the time to look back at their Maryland careers and to share their favorite memories as Terps.
