Maryland football enters 2019 with a trio of inexperienced punters

The Testudo Times summer preview series has hit the home stretch. Over the past couple months, we’ve taken a look at the quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, offensive linemen, defensive linemen, linebackers and defensive backs. Now we’ve worked up to the specialist positions.

Punting will be a position to watch in 2019, as Mike Locksley will have to replace three-year starter Wade Lees, who transferred to UCLA. With the hiring of John Papuchis as special teams coordinator, the Terrapins will be implementing a new scheme in the punting game to transition away from the rugby-style punting Lees used.
