Maryland football head coach Mike Locksley was named the Big Ten Midseason Coach of the Year by The Associated Press.
Others honored include Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr. as the league’s top offensive player and Iowa’s Cooper DeJean as the top defensive player.
The recognition for Locksley comes on the back of him leading the Terps (5-1, 2-1 Big Ten) to their best start in over 20 years.
Maryland is favored to improve to 6-1 this Saturday when it hosts Illinois. It will then go on its bye week before traveling to take on Northwestern.
