Five key returning players for Maryland football

After a lengthy and exhaustive search, Maryland finally got its new football coach in DJ Durkin this week. There's plenty of changes to come to the Terps, whether it's on the coaching staff or on the roster — the standard amount of turnover that comes with overhauling a program — but there a number of players returning who can help ease the transition for Durkin and his new staff.

Defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson

Jefferson has a year of eligibility remaining, and his return would be a boost to the defense. Jefferson was a disruptive force along the interior with 39 tackles, 12 1/2 for loss and 6 1/2 sacks.
