Filed under: Maryland, ACCKevin Anderson will be Maryland's new athletic director, the school announced Saturday, ending a search that began when former AD Debbie Yow left Maryland to take the same position at N.C. State in July.
Anderson, who will be formally introduced Tuesday, arrives from Army, where he served as AD since 2004.
University of Maryland president-designate Dr. Wallace Loh and acting president Nariman Farvardin chose Anderson from a list of three finalists, which included Buffalo AD Warde Manuel, and Connecticut AD Jeff Hathaway. Hathaway, who was the recommended by Yow after her departure, was once considered the early favorite for the job.
However, Anderson emerged as the school's choice to run the Terrapins' 27 sports teams.
"Kevin has built a solid program of competitive and academic success at the U.S. Military Academy, supporting the student-athlete and demonstrating that academics and athletics can go hand in hand," Loh said in the press release.
