With the addition of 28 players in DJ Durkin’s second recruiting class at Maryland, a number of players who were recruited by former coach Randy Edsall are no longer part of the program.
Of the nine players who are not listed on the current roster released Thursday, only redshirt junior offensive guard Mike Minter saw significant playing time in 2016.
Minter (Severna Park) started 11 games, including the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit, at left guard. Minter, a three-time All-Academic Big Ten selection, is expected to graduate in the spring.
Redshirt junior defensive end Malik Jones (Dunbar) appeared in six games.
