Maryland linebacker Abner Logan will miss the season with an ACL injury, head coach Randy Edsall Tweeted Wednesday morning.

"With a non contact injury to his ACL, Abner Logan will be out for the season," Edsall wrote.

Logan, a 6-foot-1, 242-pound junior from Massachusetts, was expected to start for the Terps, who lost much of their linebacker corps to graduation. A powerfully built, physical tackler, he missed the first six games of last season due to suspension after starting four games as a redshirt freshman -- including a 15-tackle game against Clemson and 10 tackles against Syracuse.

Brock Dean, a 225-pound junior who's appeared in one game in his career, was listed behind Logan at outside linebacker on Maryland's pre-fall depth chart. Either UConn transfer Jefferson Ashiru or third-year sophomore Jalen Brooks, listed as co-starters at the other outside linebacker spot in Maryland's new 4-3 defense, could also slide into Logan's spot.
