Maryland Football: Jermaine Carter Jr. looks to lead revamped defense

Jermaine Carter Jr. shined on a team that wasn’t very good defensively in 2015.

The defense gave up an average of more than five touchdowns per game en route to being ranked the 90th best Division I defense.

Often playing with a short field (and even shorter breaks) thanks to the offense’s historic turnover rate, Maryland’s defense was generally unable to keep opponents out of the end zone, despite the presence of several talented players on the roster.

Several of these players, such as defensive end Yannick Ngakoue and safety Sean Davis, now play in the NFL.
