Maryland safety Antwaine Richardson, who started 10 games last season, tore his ACL on Saturday and will likely miss the 2019 season, coach Michael Locksley announced after practice Tuesday. Richardson is expected to have surgery later this week.
“Losing him obviously is a guy that has played a lot of football around here,” Locksley said. “[He] has shown tremendous leadership, so we’ll obviously miss that experience and leadership he brought to the table for us from the defensive side of the ball.”
Richardson finished with 41 tackles as a junior last fall, including a career-high 11 (eight solo) in Maryland’s 52-51 overtime defeat at home to No.
