Maryland football begins the new season needing to fill two starting offensive line positions after last year’s challenges with run blocking. Despite allowing the fewest sacks in the Big Ten last season, much of the unit's success was due to graduated players. Returning starters include Michael Hershey, Rahtrel Perry, and Isaiah Wright, who need to enhance their performance. New recruits and transfer Tellek Lockette may bring fresh talent to the line. Offensive coordinator Clint Trickett is expected to focus on improving this unit's effectiveness.
