* DEPTH CHARTS were only designed as a simplistic
gauge for listing players that departed and players
that received the most playing experience (consistent
starters). NationalChamps.net recognizes the importance
of missing personnel data not listed such as redshirts,
transfers, injuries, incoming recruits, back ups
and alternates. Their coverage will begin with our
full 2007 Preseason Preview due out this coming
spring. |

QUICK
ANALYSIS |
Just
when some people were ready to throw head
coach Ralph Friedgen into the fire simply
because his Terrapin team failed to make
a bowl appearance the previous two seasons,
he rises up from the ashes and puts this
team one game away from winning the ACC
Atlantic Division. The 2007 version has
some very nice talent within every unit.
The young receivers found a leader in Heyward-Bay,
and the OL is getting stronger each year.
The main concern still sits with the QB
position, as Jordan Steffy is the only one
on the roster to have any college experience,
at least in a Maryland uniform. Hopes are
that Univ. of Florida transfer Josh Portis
is the real deal after earning significant
playing time as a true frosh (2005) while
in Gainesville (sat out 2006 under NCAA
transfer rules). This is the best-looking
QB prospect Friedgen has possessed since
arriving in College Park six years ago.
The DL could use some upgrading, but this
should be a very promising season.
