Maryland men’s basketball added two walk-ons to its 2023-24 roster. Freshman Lukas Sotell (No. 30) and junior Ben Murphy (No. 40) each had their numbers called after a Sept. 5 tryout, bringing the total number of players on the active roster up to the maximum of 15.
Head coach Kevin Willard also had two walk-ons on last year’s team: Carson Dick and Brett Karkus. Neither is on this year’s roster.
Sotell attended Samford High School in Samford, Connecticut, where he was a third-team All-State selection and earned All-FCIAC honors. He also played for Connecticut Elite on the AAU circuit.
