Student journalism thread! Catch up on the latest sports news, starting with Ben Geffner on Maryland football for @TerpsCentral ⬇️

[Ben Geffner @BenGeffner]

Michael Locksley told his players to "go underwater" amid Maryland football's struggles.

"Even in class you'll hear people talking about the game... you just gotta ignore it," one player said.

Saturday's 51-point loss to UCLA was the Terps' worst defeat since 2019.

[Jake Kauderer @jakekauderer]

Can the Wizards finally be competitive? It feels possible. Especially with the team's new Big 3 — Trae Young, Anthony Davis and AJ Dybantsa.

"I’ve always liked that idea — shocking the world," Davis said.

How they're looking to "change the narrative":

Maryland Football had a prime opportunity to make an early season statement win.

Instead, Virginia Tech took control of the game and never let go, beating Maryland 35-26. The Terps will now have to search answers before heading into BIG Ten play.

@Jona_J_22 was at SECU.

[Christian Andriolas @candriolnews]

Maryland football hosted Virginia Tech in one of the Terps’ most anticipated games in years.

But they fell short in yet another big game, falling to Virginia Tech 35-26 at SECU Stadium. Here’s how it happened.

[Faith Harris @faithlharris]

FINAL: Maryland 26 Virginia Tech 35

The Terps lose to a James Franklin-led team again. Malik Washington had 359 yards and three touchdowns, but lacked support as the rushing game only had 64 yards.

Demoralizing loss for a sold-out Terps crowd looking to see its first big win since 2024.

Thoughts on yet another Maryland loss in a big game under Michael Locksley
- All-too familiar feeling for Terps fans at SECU Stadium
- Maryland seems to have a poor rushing attack (yet again)
- Defense surrenders 445 yards while stars don’t make much of an impact

[Michael Errigo @M_Errigo]

@NoahLFerguson's the best. He was such a valued member of the All-Met team, so we're lucky to have him at The Sun.

Meet TWO new #merrillmade students, Roman Brunetti and Quincy Wilson (@QuincyWilson5), who were featured among Maryland Today's 2026 first-string first years! 👋 👋

Brunetti, a Stewart Manor, New York, native, is an aspiring sports journalist who provided color commentary for the New York Mets-Seattle Mariners game at the 2025 MLB Little League Classic in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, on ESPN. Amazing — welcome, Roman!

Wilson became the youngest-ever male track and field Olympian on Team USA in 2024 and returned from Paris with a gold medal. He also set under-18 world records in the indoor and outdoor 400-meter dash while at Bullis School in Potomac, Maryland. Incredible — welcome, Quincy!
