Maryland football had a successful National Signing Day, with 20 high school seniors committing to the Terps for next season. The class has received high marks from recruiting services and is headlined by quarterback Malik Washington, a highly touted prospect. Washington, who won multiple awards in high school, could compete for playing time with returning quarterbacks.
In addition to Washington, safety Messiah Delhomme, offensive lineman Jaylen Gilchrist, and defensive lineman Bryce Jenkins also stand out as potential impact players. Delhomme offers versatility and could strengthen Maryland’s secondary, while Gilchrist and Jenkins bring size and skill to the offensive and defensive lines, respectively.
Maryland head coach Mike Locksley expressed excitement about the potential of these recruits and highlighted the need for improvement in key positions on both sides of the ball. With key players leaving due to graduation, incoming recruits like Delhomme, Gilchrist, and Jenkins will have the opportunity to make an immediate impact.
The Terps’ new recruiting class features promising talent from various positions, setting the stage for a potential turnaround in future seasons. Locksley’s focus on bringing in talented players to address team needs reflects the program’s commitment to building a competitive roster.
