Mike Locksley announces Maryland LB suffered a significant injury in Saturday’s scrimmage
By Paul Harvey
Published:
Maryland’s defense will be without one defender when the season starts.
Durell Nchami is a sophomore linebacker that saw action with the Terrapins as a freshman. He recorded 15 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and a sack in his first season, and Nchami was likely due for an increased role in 2019.
Unfortunately, his season is over before the first regular-season game. Head coach Mike Locksley announced Tuesday evening that Nchami will miss all of 2019 after tearing his ACL in Saturday’s scrimmage.

Hopefully, Maryland can still improve on a defense that allowed 28.7 points per game last season. The unit will just have to do so without Nchami.
