Michael Locksley

Michael Locksley is a veteran college football coach with more than 30 years of experience. A Washington, D.C. native, he first joined Maryland’s staff in the late 1990s and eventually returned as head coach in December 2018. During his career, he has held a variety of roles — from running backs coach and recruiting coordinator to offensive coordinator and head coach — at institutions including Maryland, Illinois, New Mexico, Florida, and Alabama. Under Locksley’s leadership, Maryland has achieved milestone successes: three straight winning seasons from 2021 to 2023 with bowl victories in each, as well as strong offensive performances and top-tier recruiting classes. He is also involved in football camps and community efforts, and his work extends beyond just the field.
