COLLEGE PARK, MD – Maryland head football coach Michael Locksley announced the additions of four transfers to the Terrapin program on Thursday.
Locksley welcomes Aliou Bah (Georgia), Alan Herron (Shorter), Jalen Huskey (Bowling Green) and MJ Morris (NC State) for the 2024 season.
“I’m really excited about these additions to our football program,” said Locksley. “We were able to address areas of need where these guys will provide some depth, but also have a chance to compete to play right away. I love that each player has multiple years of eligibility remaining so we’ll have a chance to really bring them into our football family, develop them and give them a chance to make a long-lasting impact as a Terp.”
