Maryland football anticipates competition in revamped wide receiver room
Summary

Maryland football is preparing for the upcoming season with a changed wide receiver lineup as Malik Washington steps into a lead role. The team struggled with dropped passes last season, finishing with 39, which hindered their passing attack. With only 37.8% of their receiving production returning, key battles are expected between transfers Na’eem Abdul-Rahim Gladding and Chris Durr Jr. for top target status. Kaleb Webb is poised to take on a larger role after contributing 22 catches in the last campaign. The Terps' ability to improve their passing game will be critical following a disappointing stretch last season.
