Randy Edsall and Maryland went through all of spring practice without so much as a depth chart for us to get through the offseason on. Fret not, folks. It has arrived, via Roman Stubbs. That photo can be a bit hard to read, however, so here it is broken down by unit.
Offensive backs:
QB | RB | FB |
Caleb Rowe | Wes Brown | Kenneth Goins, Jr. |
Perry Hills | Brandon Ross | Andrew Stefanelli |
Daxx Garman | Joe Riddle | Shane Cockerille |
Gage Shaffer | Ty Johnson | Tehuti Miles |
Marcus Smith |
As expected, Wes Brown and Brandon Ross are competing for the starting running back job. Also expected, Kenneth Goins has a firm hold on the fullback position.
What is a surprise is Perry Hills's presence as part of the quarterback job hunt. It was widely expected to be between Caleb Rowe and Daxx Garman (and the smart money's still on one of those two), but Edsall would like this to be an open competition between the three and said as much Thursday on local radio.
Receivers and tight ends:
WR | WR | WR | TE |
Amba Etta-Tawo | Levern Jacobs | Malcolm Culmer | Andrew Isaacs |
D.J. Moore | DeAndre Lane | Taivon Jacobs | P.J. Gallo |
Michael Cornwell | Jahrvis Davenport | Will Ulmer | Derrick Hawyard |
Zac Morton | Eric Roca | ||
Andrew Gray | |||
Avery Edwards |
Only one real surprise here -- Taivon Jacobs battling for a starting job with Malcolm Culmer.
Offensive line:
LT | LG | C | RG | RT |
Michael Dunn | Ryan Doyle | Evan Mulrooney | Andrew Zeller | Damian Prince |
Derwin Gray | Mike Minter | Brendan Moore | Stephen Grommer | JaJuan Dulaney |
Banks Agaruwa | Sean Christie | Joe Marchese | Maurice Shelton | EJ Donahue |
Will McClain | Tyler Smith | Ellis McKennie | Mason Zimmerman |
Derwin Gray is still recovering from a torn labrum injury and may not return until September, but here's your first look at Maryland's new offensive line. Looks ... kind of similar to the old one, with the exciting exception of a five-star right tackle.
Defensive line:
DE | NT | DT | DE |
Roman Braglio | David Shaw | Quinton Jefferson | Yannick Ngakoue |
Brett Kulka | Kingsley Opara | Malik Jones | Jesse Aniebonam |
Cavon Walker | Azubuike Ukandu | Ty Tucker | Chandler Burkett |
Mbi Tanyi | Keiron Howard | Oseh Saine | Ruben Franco |
Adam McLean |
The 4-3 defense is here! Maryland will operate with one nose and one tackle, as expected, with returning starter David Shaw and former Florida prospect Kingsley Opara competing for the bigger of the two positions. Quinton Jefferson kicks inside to tackle, as expected, with a nasty outside duo of Yannick Ngakoue and Roman Braglio (with Jesse Aniebonam coming off the bench).
Linebackers:
OLB | ILB | OLB |
Jalen Brooks | Jermaine Carter | Abner Logan |
Jefferson Ashiru | Tyler Burke | Brock Dean |
Avery Thompson | Matt Gillespie | Gus Little |
Nnamdi Egbuaba | Isaiah Davis | Brett Zanotto |
UConn transfer Jefferson Ashiru is competing with Jalen Brooks for the last starting linebacker spots, as the other two have been locked up as expected by Jermaine Carter and Abner Logan.
Defensive backs:
CB | S | S | CB |
Sean Davis | Anthony Nixon | A.J. Hendy | William Likely |
Jarrett Ross | Denzel Conyers | Josh Woods | Alvin Hill |
Daniel Ezeagwu | Elvis Dennah | J.T. Ventura | Antwaine Carter |
Milan Collins | Milan Barry-Pollock | Darnell Savage |
Probably Maryland's strongest unit, that's a fun group of starters.
Special teams:
K | P | LS | PR | KR |
Brad Craddock | Nicolas Pritchard | Nate Adams | William Likely | William Likely |
Adam Greene | Nicholas Rubinowicz | Christian Carpenter | DeAndre Lane | Taivon Jacobs |
Lee Shrader | Matt Oliveira |
Three-way punter battle! Two-way long snapper competition! Will Likely returning kicks and punts! It's almost football season, y'all.
