As first impressions go, transfers Johari Branch, Ami Finau and Mosiah Nasili-Kite are meshing nicely within the Maryland football program in their debut seasons.
Branch, a junior, has entrenched himself as the starting left guard in all three games, and Finau, another junior, has done the same at nose tackle, making nine tackles. Nasili-Kite, a sophomore, started the first two games at defensive tackle and collected six tackles, including two sacks in the Terps' 35-19 victory at Penn State on Nov. 7.
“We’re all starting, and we’re all making a name for ourselves,” said Nasili-Kite (pronounced Nah-sillee Kee-tay).
