As the season rapidly approaches, we are wrapping up our Maryland football position previews this week with a look at the defensive back unit today and the special teams units on Friday.
While the Terps secondary was at times inconsistent during a shortened 2020 season, they did make strides, providing hope to Maryland fans that they will take an even greater step forward in 2021.
“Our secondary I thought was one of the more improved units of our team last season,” head coach Mike Locksley said after the team's first scrimmage last week.
