- Maryland lost substantial linebacker production and has limited proven depth behind the top of the new rotation.
- Trey Reddick provides an experienced, productive option, but the lack of established reserves makes health especially important at linebacker.
- Boston College transfer Amari Jackson has dealt with health issues for two seasons, adding availability risk to a rebuilt secondary.
- Dante Joyner and Jamari Glassgow bring starting experience, while safety Messiah DeLoach is among the younger players being asked to step forward.
- The defense has promising returning sophomores, but several position groups have little margin for additional injuries.
