The Breakdown: A seasoned central defender from Germany, Bergmann started 61 of the 63 matches after arriving in College Park in 2017. Strong with his left foot, Bergmann teamed with Donovan Pines in 2018 to form the backbone of Maryland's sensational defensive block that helped the team capture the National Championship. A tactically sound defensive ace, Bergmann also serves as a left-footed set piece specialist for the Terps and is a threat to score from that part of the game.
