We’re walking up to the line of scrimmage, and, like a quarterback, surveying the talent right in front of us. Once again, it appears abundant with a blank chapter ready to be written.

Over the next couple of weeks leading up to opening night on Friday, September 2, Maryland Sports Access will tour the states top prep football programs, covering scrimmages and behind-the-scene practices to provide in-depth team previews.
