Maryland football announced the finalization of its defensive coaching staff on Wednesday afternoon as Brian Williams, who served as the team’s co-defensive coordinator in 2021, has been promoted to the defensive coordinator position, per a Wednesday release.
Williams has been with the program since head coach Michael Locksley’s first season leading Maryland in 2019. The former outside linebackers and defensive line coach will continue to coach the defensive line unit.
Williams was given the play-calling reins in the final two games of the 2021 season in the games against Rutgers and Virginia Tech, which both resulted in wins.
