Maryland football names Clint Trickett as new offensive coordinator

Maryland head coach Michael Locksley has hired Clint Trickett as the team's fifth offensive coordinator in eight seasons. Trickett moves to the role after a brief tenure as quarterbacks coach at Arkansas and a prior stint coordinating the offense at Jacksonville State. The hiring follows a period of instability at the position, with three of the previous four coordinators leaving the program under varying circumstances. Locksley stated that while the team will incorporate some of Trickett’s personal influence, the offense will remain structured around the program's established identity. Maryland enters the season looking to build on the development of starting quarterback Malik Washington. Uncertainty remains regarding the distribution of play-calling duties, as Locksley has not explicitly confirmed who will manage that responsibility during games.
