The 2023 NCAA Wrestling Tournament is fast approaching, and two more Terps have joined in on the fun in this year’s clash. Receiving at-large bids, Jaron Smith and Braxton Brown will join Jaxon Smith, Kal Miller and Ethen Miller to represent Maryland in just over a week.
Maryland’s five wrestlers are the most the school has sent to the tournament since 2014. Jaron Smith, a graduate student, has had a solid year, contributing to huge wins over Duke — Maryland’s first shutout win since 2014 — and Pitt, where he led the comeback to give the Terps their first win against a ranked opponent since 2013.
