After examining Maryland’s offensive line Monday, we continue our football position previews by flipping to the other side of the line of scrimmage.

Maryland’s defensive line showed flashes in 2022, especially on the interior. But with starters Ami Finau, Greg China-Rose and Mosiah Nasili-Kite moving on, the Terps have some 300-pound holes to fill. The trio combined for a hefty 85 tackles (54 solo), 12 tackles for loss and five sacks last year, and won’t be easy to replace.

Only a handful of the returning defensive linemen received significant playing time last season, making virtually all of the starting spots up for grabs.
