Breaking News: Maryland Coach Mike Locksley Reshapes Roster with Key Additions, Including Former UCLA Five-star QB

Maryland football is making major moves to turn things around for the 2025 season. Head coach Mike Locksley has officially announced key signings, headlined by former UCLA quarterback Justyn Martin. This strategic roster overhaul aims to bring new energy and competitiveness to the Terrapins after a challenging 2024 season.

With a mix of talent coming in through the transfer portal, Maryland is focused on strengthening its squad and making a statement in the Big Ten. As the team gears up for the new season, fans have reason to be optimistic about what lies ahead.

 

One of the most notable pickups is former UCLA quarterback Justyn Martin. A highly regarded four-star recruit from California, Martin spent two seasons with the Bruins before entering the portal. During the 2024 season, he saw action in three games, completing 24-of-35 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown. Now, he arrives in College Park with hopes of revitalizing Maryland’s offense in 2025.

Martin is just one of several transfers looking to make an impact. With new talent coming in, the Terrapins are aiming to turn things around and compete at a higher level in the Big Ten.

 

According to the latest rankings from 247 Sports, Maryland currently holds the No. 12 transfer portal class in the Big Ten and ranks No. 43 nationally. While there’s still work to be done, these additions signal a strong effort to rebuild and improve heading into the new season.

 

With spring practices approaching, all eyes will be on how these new pieces fit into the team’s plans. Can the Terps bounce back in 2025? Fans are eager to find out.
