Maryland football's defensive line prepares for 2026 season upgrades

Maryland football's defensive line is set to undergo significant changes for the 2026 season. Following a solid pass rush in 2025, the Terps will replace three starters due to graduation, transfer, and injury. New recruits, including five-star prospect Zion Elee, are expected to enhance the defensive front. Experienced players like Sidney Stewart and Nahsir Taylor will take leadership roles as the team aims to improve against the run and maintain pressure on quarterbacks. Head coach Mike Locksley will rely on a mix of veteran presence and youthful talent as the team prepares for a challenging Big Ten schedule.
