MM 12.18: Maryland football quarterbacks Justyn Martin and Roman Jensen enters transfer portal
When a program can retain the talents of a true-freshman quarterback like Malik Washington, its other quarterbacks often run for the hills.

This comes just after news of Malik Washington electing to stay at Maryland for his sophomore […]

MM 12.16: Maryland football secures commitment from 2026 kicker Eli Fulcher
One of Maryland football’s sneaky shortcomings in 2025 was an inability for either Sean O’Haire or Philip Noyes to get kickoffs into the endzone and force touchbacks.

Takeaways from Maryland men’s basketball’s 101-83 loss to No. 2 Michigan
Maryland men’s basketball opened its Big Ten slate in catastrophic fashion. It lost 83-64 to Iowa and hit just 17 field goals all game. It needed a rebound, and it got one Saturday.

Maryland men’s basketball vs. No. 2 Michigan preview
Maryland men’s basketball’s conference slate got off to an awful start on the road at Iowa.

Shorthanded No. 7 Maryland women’s basketball dominates Delaware State, 91-21, remains unbeaten

Takeaways from Maryland men’s basketball’s 83-64 loss to Iowa in Big Ten opener
