As spring practice begins for Maryland football team, Locksley sees offensive line as a strength

If the spring is used as a proving ground for a college football team with a new coach, there should be several positions open at Maryland under Michael Locksley, who oversaw his first practice Tuesday.

That certainly appears to be the case for the Terps, but this group might be coming together quicker than most. Despite replacing three offensive linemen who started a bulk of their careers, Locksley likes what he sees.

Though admittedly a “little thin” because of the loss of tackles Damian Prince and Derwin Gray, as well as center Brendan Moore, Locksley said after practice that the returning corps is strong.
