The latest from Kyle Goon
Kyle Goon: Blake Horvath’s hidden competitive streak has made him a Navy great
Blake Horvath has led Navy to two great seasons as an elite dual-threat quarterback. Behind a wholesome image is a relentless competitor who could help his senior class tie a record for the most wins in school history.
Kyle Goon: Service members, enjoy Baltimore for Army-Navy. Remember us fondly as the president threatens us.
Is Baltimore really as bad as Donald Trump says it is? Of course not. This weekend, as troops flood in for football, they have a chance to see for themselves.
Kyle Goon: Saint Frances football will go anywhere to prove itself. That’s why the Panthers have a national title shot.
Saint Frances’ go anywhere, play anytime model has made it one of the most feared national opponents in the last decade. Now that approach could suit them for a chance at a No. 1 overall ranking and $250,000.
Kyle Goon: Lamar Jackson played closer to his standard. That’s the Ravens’ last ray of hope.
After running and throwing for TDs for the first time in weeks, the star quarterback might still be able to raise the ceiling for this team.
Kyle Goon: Mark Andrews defines the Ravens’ standard. That’s why he’s worth his new contract.
Even though his on-field production has declined, Mark Andrews is one of the foremost weapons for the Ravens eight seasons into his career. Combine that with his off-field impact, and an extension for the 30-year-old is a no-brainer.
Kyle Goon: Zion Elee’s splashy signing raises expectations for Terps football — and Mike Locksley
St. Frances Academy star Zion Elee is the highest-ranked recruit ever to sign with the Terps football program. But embattled coach Mike Locksley is stacking up expectations with his incoming class and has to turn around his 4-8 program quickly.
Kyle Goon: Ravens GM Eric DeCosta made tough choices that helped lead to the team’s middling season
The Ravens have many more obvious roster holes than they started the season with. Reconstructing the choices the GM had to make shows how limited his options were to prevent a slide, but he still has to take some blame.
Kyle Goon: The Ravens’ offense keeps getting worse. Heads might need to roll.
This offense stinks. Isn't anyone else tired of this?
Kyle Goon: With the Bengals and Steelers ahead, the Ravens don’t look ready to conquer the AFC North
Lamar Jackson hasn't played like himself since coming back from a hamstring injury. The offensive line is struggling. Pass pressure and open-field tackling are issues for the defense. Even in a 5-0 stretch, Baltimore hasn't built confidence.
Kyle Goon: Maryland’s new AD bursts with optimism, but is he ready to tackle the hard decisions?
Since starting in July, athletic director Jim Smith has whipped up enthusiasm and filled seats for Terps sports. But building a more competitive budget will be a significantly tougher challenge.
Can Lamar Jackson return to MVP form? Our Ravens experts break down the key questions.
Here’s what Banner reporters make of the Ravens’ season as the team heads into Week 12 with a four-game winning streak.
Kyle Goon: How Baltimore native Donnell Whittenburg defied age and injury to make history — finally
While many gymnastics careers stall in the early to mid-20s, the Baltimore native achieved his first World Championships gold medal at age 31.
Kyle Goon: The Ravens’ offense can do a lot more to help Lamar Jackson be great
The offensive line play, receiver routes and play calling can be better around Lamar Jackson, who will determine how far this team goes.
Terps football coach Mike Locksley will keep his job in 2026 — and get more funding
Some speculated whether the Terps would fire their seventh-year head coach. Instead, he’s coming back and reportedly getting a boost of NIL resources.
Kyle Goon: Derrick Henry’s legend started with his high school rushing record. Now he’s cheering for someone to break it.
Derrick Henry’s high school national rushing record (12,124 yards) is an unfathomably high number. But a senior in Indiana is making a push to break it.
Kyle Goon: Navy football could have another All-American. Meet Landon Robinson, the Midshipmen’s ‘freak.’
The senior started at the Naval Academy as a linebacker, then gained 40 pounds in one offseason but kept his speed. Now the all-conference weight room freak is gunning for the NFL.
Kyle Goon: Terps’ transition to Buzz Williams feels awkward. But change could be a good thing.
One season after the Terps recaptured the fan base’s energy with a dramatic run to the Sweet 16, a remade program doesn’t feel connected to its past. But the Buzz Williams era, though awkward in its start, has the potential to build on what came before.
Kyle Goon: How Baltimore can keep its basketball talent with an old church — and a few million dollars
The Sanctuary Collective is a nonprofit facility with the backing of Carmelo Anthony that today aims to bring high-level basketball coaching to the heart of Baltimore — and tomorrow hopes to bring a whole lot more.
Kyle Goon: If Terps want to win bigger, they must move on from Mike Locksley
We’ve seen enough from Mike Locksley to know the seventh-year Terps coach isn't taking the football program any higher. And now programs such as Indiana are jumping Maryland in the conference pecking order.
Lamar Jackson to return for Ravens against Miami
While the MVP QB returns for Baltimore, CB Jaire Alexander remains shelved.
