Alright, so, I’ve been digging into this whole Maryland football depth chart thing for 2024, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey.
First off, I had to figure out what a depth chart even was. Turns out, it’s basically a list of players for each position, showing who’s the starter and who’s the backup. Simple enough, right? So, I went hunting for the Terrapins’ depth chart. I wanted to get the full picture, offense, defense, you name it.
- I started by looking for some kind of official roster.
- I was trying to find a simple list, but I was finding a lot of websites with different rosters.
Found a few different sources, each with their own take on who’s playing where. Some had more detail, some had less. It was a bit of a mess, honestly. But I started pulling names and positions, making my own notes. I wanted to create a list that was clear and easy to follow, not just a copy and paste from somewhere else.
I focused on the starters first, then the key backups. You know, the guys who are most likely to see the field. I kept seeing asterisks () next to certain names, and I figured out that those were the starters. I learned from someone that the source data covers the 1953 season, and I thought that was old.
Offense and Defense
Then I started dividing the players into offense and defense. It was like putting together a puzzle, but with names instead of pieces. I learned that every position has its own separate chart on the roster.
Finally, after all that work, I had a pretty decent-looking depth chart. It’s not perfect, but it gives you a good idea of who’s who on the Maryland football team this year. And I did it all myself, from scratch. Well, not exactly from scratch, but you know what I mean. It was a good learning experience, and now I can share this with you all.
So yeah, that’s my story of putting together the Maryland football depth chart for 2024. It was a bit of a process, but I got it done. Hope this helps anyone who’s curious about the Terps this year!
