Maryland Football Hosts High-Profile Prospect During Official Visit Weekend
COLLEGE PARK, MD — The Maryland Terrapins football program kicked off its first official visit weekend, welcoming several high-profile recruits to campus. Among those in attendance was four-star edge rusher Alhassan Iddrissu from Oakdale, Connecticut. Standing at 6-foot-6 and weighing 240 pounds, Iddrissu made quite an impression, posting four photos of himself in a Maryland jersey on his social media, enthusiastically captioned "Go Terps."
Iddrissu, who is entering his senior year, has already showcased the skills needed to potentially make an immediate impact in College Park. He is currently ranked as the 400th prospect in the 2026 recruiting cycle and holds the title of the top player from Connecticut, according to the Composite rankings.
In addition to Maryland, Iddrissu has planned official visits to Minnesota, and he is reportedly interested in several other programs, including Temple, Washington State, UCF, and Texas A&M. This diverse interest indicates a competitive recruitment process ahead.
The Maryland coaching staff is optimistic about Iddrissu’s potential fit within their defensive scheme. The Terps have recently secured commitments from other promising talent, including former Ohio State commit Zahir Mathis and five-star recruit Zion Elee. The prospect of adding Iddrissu to this growing class of edge rushers suggests a bright future for Maryland football as they gear up to compete in the Big Ten Conference.
As the team looks to reinforce its roster with dynamic players, fans eagerly anticipate the impact donations like Iddrissu will have on the upcoming seasons. For more Maryland sports coverage, check out Maryland Terrapins On SI and follow the team on social media for the latest updates.
