📈 STOCK UP

🔼 The Right Side Of 50. Time really flies during the summer months. There are only 50 days until Maryland football is back in action this season, and when we think of 50 we think of Mr. 50 himself—Chad Ryland, the first Terp to kick two 50+ yard field goals in the same game.

🏈 Watch Kick #1 and then go for Kick #2 and finish it all off with a highlight reel fit for the future NFL draft pick.

🔼 The Next Generation. USA Volleyball announced that Maryland volleyball assistant coach Becca Acevedo has been named to an assistant coaching position for the U15-17 National Team Development Program this weekend in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The program runs through Monday.

Since 2016, the Maryland assistant has worked within the USA Volleyball High Performance Pipeline, and she has previously served on staff with the National Team Development Program in 2021 in Anaheim, California.

🤔 TERPS TRIVIA

Light up the scoreboard. Being only 50 days away from Terps football is a big deal—so we’re referencing it twice in today’s Brew!

How many times has Maryland put up a 50 burger against an opponent under Coach Mike Locksley?

🐢 ONE BIG THING

Before the 2014 season, Maryland baseball had been a program in limbo and one looking to create a new identity before heading to the Big Ten. By season’s end, mission accomplished. In their final season with the ACC, the Terps won 40 games and reached the NCAA Super Regionals for the first time in program history.

Since then, Maryland has flipped the narrative, winning a program-record 48 games in 2022, its first Big Ten regular-season title, and served as the host of an NCAA Regional for the first time ever.

However, the history of Terrapin baseball runs strong, especially in Major League Baseball. No player embodies this more than Charlie Keller—a 13-year league veteran with 189 home runs, the most of any former Terp in MLB.

“I sensed being around him that he was a special person to a lot of people,” Dan Bittle said. “I just always looked at him as a grandfather I wanted to be around, not because he was a baseball player. He taught you the way to do things right in life, whatever it was. His integrity, his honesty and his hard work were who he was.”
