After examining the Terps’ offense heading into 2022, we continue our football positional previews by flipping to the other side of the ball to preview what to expect from Maryland’s defensive line this fall.
Maryland returns a handful of starters from last year’s unit, but it will need them to step up after the graduation of their best defensive lineman — Sam Okuayinonu.
