Maryland wrestling star Ethen Miller announced Sunday that he’s transferring to Virginia Tech, leaving the Terps with a year of eligibility left.
Miller entered the portal on April 1 and was one of the most accomplished wrestlers available at the Division I level.
The redshirt junior is coming off his best season at Maryland. He finished the regular season with an undefeated record — the first Terp to do so since the 2013-14 season. Miller climbed as high as No. 5, tied for the highest of any Maryland wrestler this season.

He picked up eight ranked wins, the best against No. 1 Tyler Kasak. Miller’s resume made him the first Maryland wrestler to be the No. 1 seed at 157 pounds for the Big Ten tournament.
Miller also qualified for the NCAA tournament in all three years he competed and picked up a win each trip.
Maryland has four other wrestlers listed at 157 pounds — Mekhi Neal, Nathan Perry, AJ Rodrigues and Kevin Schork. Rodrigues was Maryland’s starter last season as a true freshman at 165 pounds.
Miller’s brother, Kal, could also compete at 157 pounds for the Terps — before this season started, there were plans for him to wrestle at that weight.
