As we continue our Maryland football preview series this summer, it’s time to take a look at the linebacker group. Thomas gave an overview Monday, I took a look at a pair of up-and-comers on Tuesday, Lamar previewed the veterans of the room on Wednesday and Lila broke down the transfers yesterday.
Today, I’m looking at three JACK linebackers who will serve as hybrid edge rushers, hoping to pressure opposing quarterbacks in conjunction with the defensive line. The trio of Bryce Brand, Durrell Nchami and Deshawn Holt may not have a ton of experience or prior production, but the position could be a crucial one for the defense and team as a whole.
