Coach Locksley has been coaching for more than 30 years, including eight seasons as a full-time head coach. His coaching resume includes positions at major programs like the University of Alabama, University of Florida, and University of Illinois. During the 2017 season, he won a national championship while serving on Coach Nick Saban’s staff at Alabama. Coach Locksley recently led Maryland to its third consecutive winning season.
