Wisloski Named Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – University of Maryland freshman wide receiver and kickoff returner Braeden Wisloski has been named Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week, the conference announced on Monday.

Trailing 14-0, Wisloski jumpstarted the Maryland attack by taking a kickoff return 98 yards for a touchdown as the Terps rattled off 42 consecutive points to defeat Virginia, 42-14, on Friday. It was Wisloski's first career touchdown and it marked the first time a Terp returned a kickoff for a touchdown since Javon Leake had a 97-yard score against Michigan on Nov. 2, 2019.

Wisloski's kickoff return was the longest for a Maryland player since Leake equaled a school record with a 100-yard return at Rutgers on Oct. 5, 2019.

Wisloski is the first Maryland player to garner Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week honors since kicker Chad Ryland on Nov. 28, 2022.

Maryland (3-0) will travel to Michigan State (2-1) on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. and the Big Ten East clash will air on NBC and the Maryland Sports Radio Network.
