Taivon Jacobs Selects Ohio State Over Maryland

The Maryland Terrapins missed out on a home grown prospect for their team. Wide reciever Taivon Jacobs, a graduate of Suitland High School committed to the Ohio St. Buckeyes, according to a tweet by Jakob Engleke of Inside Maryland Sports.

Taivon Jacobs has committed to Ohio State, IMS has learned. Picked OSU over #Terps and West Virginia.

— Jakob Engelke (@Jakob_Engelke) July 19, 2012

Jacobs, measuring in at 5'10" and 165 pounds was clocked as having a 4.47 40-yard dash and a 34-inch vertical leap. It is more than likely that the prospect of playing for head coach Urban Meyer was too big an opportunity for the receiver to pass up. The Terrapins hopefully can get past this disappointment and still get a strong recruiting class for 2013.

Maryland Recruiting: Three-Star Quarterback/Safety Commits

Milan Collins, a 6-foot-2 quarterback from Bishop McNamara High School, has committed to Maryland over Boston College, Syracuse and West Virginia, among other programs, according to InsideMDSports.com.

The Forestville, Md., is listed as a three-star by Yahoo! Sports' Rivals.com, as well as 247Sports.com. He also plays safety, and as of a month ago, was expected to play on the defensive side for the Terps but that still could change.

Collins is the Terrapins' 11th commit for the class of 2013 and the seventh in the last two weeks. He is currently listed as the No. 28 dual-threat quarterback and No. 22 player in the state, per 247Sports. And via Rivals, his 40-yard dash time stood at 4.53 seconds.

Maryland Recruiting: Terps Pick Up All-Purpose Back Richy Anderson

The Maryland Terrapins picked up their 10th verbal commit for their 2013 class when Frederick, Md., all-purpose back Richy Anderson chose Maryland. Anderson is yet another local player to have selected the Terps, and he chose Maryland over having offers from East Carolina, Boston College, Wake Forest, Rutgers and Temple.

The 5-foot-11, 180-pound Anderson spent time as a running back and wide receiver during his junior year and earned 1,500 yards of total offense and 12 total touchdowns while helping lead his high school team to the Maryland 3A championship game.

According to Rivals, Anderson is a three-star recruit and is rates as the No. 20 all-purpose back and the 22nd best player in the state of Maryland. Anderson said he chose Maryland because he feels that with the local talent that has already committed, there is a chance to build something great:

"With all the local guys they've brought in, there's a chance to build something real special here. I feel like the talent in this state is underrated on a national level, but we're going to show everyone that if we [Marylanders] all stick together we can compete with anyone. I'm ready to compete for a national championship at Maryland."

Maryland Football Recruiting: Devin Butler Picks Notre Dame

Maryland head coach Randy Edsall has generally had good luck in keeping local recruits close to home. But he lost out on a good local prospect when Gonzaga defensive back Devin Butler announced on Twitter that he had committed to Notre Dame.

I'M COMMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME!!!! #GOIRISH

— Devin Butler (@Devin7_Era) April 4, 2012

And the folks at SB Nation's Notre Dame blog, One Foot Down, are happy to have him if this report is any guide.

Devin definitely has some room to add weight, and I think he would probably need to get up to around 200 lbs to be fully effective at the CB spot on the Irish defense. He shows great anticipation and change of direction in coverage, especially in zone. He is a physical presence against the run, which is a big asset for CBs in this scheme.

One thing I think he needs to work on is wrapping the ball carrier up. I saw too many shoulder tackles on his highlight film. Other than that, he is a very dynamic player on the field and should have a very productive career in South Bend.

Maryland Recruiting 2012: Devin Butler To Announce College Choice Wednesday

Maryland Terrapins fans better take notice of the young man from Gonzaga College High School in the District on Wednesday. Defensive back Devin Butler will make his choice of where to attend and the list of schools include Maryland, Penn State, Michigan, Notre Dame and Northwestern.

Butler has said that distance will not drive his decision to choose a school after he and his parents rented a car to make a Midwestern trip

I loved all the places [on the trip] really. They were all great - coaches were great, players were great campuses were great. I loved them all.

Butler received 21 scholarship offers this offseason, so there was no shortage of choices on which school to go to. Butler started at cornerback for Gonzaga last season and intercepted seven passes, one of which he returned for a touchdown.

Michael Parker Commits To Maryland Football

While the Randy Edsall era in College Park has made recruiting news for all the wrong reasons in recent months, they received a solid pick-up for the class of 2013 when Mike Parker, a four-star rated athlete by Rivals from Nokesville, Virginia (Kettle Run High School), committed to the Terps on Twitter Tuesday evening:

Thank you to everyone who has helped me out. Through a painful process. I've decided to become apart of the Maryland football team in 2014!

— Mike Parker (@That_Parker) March 27, 2012

Parker is a 6-foot-3, 205-lb. corner and wideout rated as the fifth-best overall "athlete position" by Rivals, and the 114th-best overall prospect in the 2013 signing class. Per Rivals, Parker had offers from Virginia Tech, Tennessee, Boston College and Stanford, among others. The Terps already have one commitment, from three-star defensive back Jarrett Ross.

What Stefon Diggs' Commitment Means For The Future Of Maryland Football

Somehow, someway, Mike Locksley was able to lure Stefon Diggs to Maryland. Now that he is in the fold, will the local recruiting floodgates open?

Maryland Football Recruiting: Stefon Diggs Excited To Play For Randy Edsall

There's a lot of love in College Park on Friday night, as five-star recruit Stefon Diggs made it official and chose Maryland at Looney's Pub on Route 1. Head coach Randy Edsall quickly tweeted and released a statement that he was happy to have Diggs on board, and the top prospect expressed the same sentiment towards Edsall and the Terp football program. Diggs said all the right things for Terp fans at the announcement ceremony, and he continued that afterwards when speaking with the press.

Via @PaulTenorio:

He's a good guy. He's a very stand-up guy. I believe in his plan for succeeding in the classroom academically. That's one of the important reasons I chose UMD cause I feel like I'll succeed. He accepts nothing but your best. Some people have a problem with it, but it's nothing wrong with structure.

Diggs said all the right things for Terp fans at the announcement ceremony, and he carried that over afterwards when speaking with the press.

Maryland Football Recruiting: Randy Edsall Releases Statement On Stefon Diggs Commitment

It didn't take long for University of Maryland head football coach Randy Edsall to chime in on the huge commitment of Stefon Diggs in College Park on Friday night. It's the high-point in Edsall's short time at Maryland after a disastrous first season. As you can imagine, the Terps coach is thrilled to have Diggs in the fold.

Via @PaulTenorio:

"We're very pleased to receive the commitment of Stefon. He is an impact player who brings a playmaking ability that will enhance our team and certainly helps us offensively. He's a great competitor and a team player who loves to work every day and win. We're honored and happy to have him."

The coach also tweeted about Diggs' choice of Maryland:

Excited to have Stefon Diggs on board with us. He is an impact player that we're happy to have committed to Maryland Football.

Stefon Diggs Commits To Maryland Football Over Ohio State, Florida

The waiting is over and Stefon Diggs has made his decision. He will play football at the University of Maryland beginning this fall.

Diggs makes it official. He's going to Maryland. #allmets

The Good Counsel product, a five-star-rated wide receiver by Rivals, made his decision at Looney's Pub in College Park Friday evening. Diggs had reportedly been considering Ohio State, Florida, and Auburn in addition to his hometown Terps. The wide receiver said that his mother had faxed the National Letter of Intent to Maryland earlier that day, making his commitment binding.

Diggs is the most prominent recruit to commit to Maryland during the tenure of second-year head coach Randy Edsall and first-year offensive coordinator Mike Locksley. The wide receiver visited Maryland's campus last weekend, where he was hosted by quarterback (and rumored want-away) Danny O'Brien and took in the Maryland basketball game against North Carolina.

Stefon Diggs To Announce Decision At Around 9 P.M. Friday

Stefon Diggs, a Maryland native and five-star-rated wide receiver recruit by Rivals, will make his decision Friday as to where he wants to play college football next fall. The announcement, which is expected to favor the hometown Maryland Terrapins, will come at around 9 p.m., according to a tweet by Comcast reporter Sebastian Salazar.

Salazar says Diggs is holding an event at Looney's Pub on Route 1, right in the heart of College Park, that will start at 6 p.m. and run til 9 with his decision being made at the end. It had been previously published that Diggs' decision will come at 6 p.m., but that looks to no longer be the case.

Maryland Football Recruiting: Stefon Diggs Will Be Maryland Bound, According To Report

Today is a huge day for Maryland recruiting, as local receiver Stefon Diggs will make his Collegiate announcement. While he is the typical star player that could pick his own school, it is starting to look seriously like he will actually choose the Terps.

Talking to a few more people this morning I am more convinced than ever Stefon Diggs is #Maryland bound barring a surprise.

— Mike Farrell (@rivalsmike) February 10, 2012

There have been a lot of sources claiming that they know where Diggs is going to announce, and to be honest, none of them really do. But Mike Farrell is one of the most trusted names in this business, so he probably has as good of a handle on this thing as anyone. Throw in the always trust-worth Josh Barr and the fact that he is reportedly announcing his decision in College Park, and it would be a major letdown if he chooses to go anywhere else.

Stefon Diggs Will Make Announcement At Looney's Pub In College Park, Expected To Choose Maryland

Friday afternoon could be a big day for Randy Edsall and the University of Maryland football program. Local five-star recruit Stefon Diggs is set to announce his college choice at 6:00 PM. Late Thursday, word came down that the announcement would take place at Looney's Pub on Route 1 right in the heart of College Park.

Diggs is announcing at the Looneys in college park tomorrow at 6pm

— kristen kenney(@kristenkenney) February 10, 2012

It was reported earlier on Thursday that Diggs was expecting to choose Maryland over Ohio State, Florida, and Auburn. Looney's is currently where Edsall does his weekly radio show. Maryland fans are hopeful that the the Good Counsel product planning the announcement at a Terp establishment means he will be playing across the way at Byrd Stadium in a little over six months.

Stefon Diggs Expected To Announce Maryland Football Commitment Friday, According To Report

Citing a source close to Stefon Diggs, Josh Barr of the Washington Post is reporting that the Maryland high school star will announce on Friday that he will play for the Maryland Terrapins. Diggs was going to announce his decision live on Comcast SportsNet, but has since backed out of that arrangement. Diggs is a five-star recruit and is widely regarded as one of the best wide receivers in the country. He made his official visit to Maryland on Saturday.

Diggs is also considering Auburn, Florida and Ohio State. Most seem to believe it's down to Maryland or the Buckeyes, and though no one else has a report similar to Barr's, there are some in the know who are backing him up. Mike Farrell of Rivals.com speculated earlier today that Diggs will commit to Maryland.

Stefon Diggs Decision: Five-Star Prospect Will Make Announcement Friday At 6 P.M. ET

Stefon Diggs, a Maryland native and five-star wide receiver recruit by Rivals, will make his decision Friday on where he wants to play college football next fall. However, the announcement will be made at 6 p.m., not 10 p.m. as originally published. According to Mike Farrell of Rivals, who tweeted the time change Thursday afternoon, Diggs is deciding between the hometown Maryland Terrapins and Ohio St. Buckeyes.

Contrary to earlier reports, it appears that Digg's announcement will not be televised, according to this tweet by Sebastian Salazar of CSN Washington.

Stefon Diggs won't be announcing decision on Comcast SportsNet. He committed to do it earlier but backed out. Wish him luck w/tough decision

Rumors have Diggs, who's the top unsigned recruit for the Class of 2012, leaning toward the Buckeyes but College Park is hoping the Our Lady of Good Counsel in Olney, MD stud will stay close to home.

According to Ermann, Diggs will make his announcement Friday at 10 p.m on Comcast Sports Network.

Diggs, who's the second ranked wide out by Rivals, will be deciding between the hometown Maryland Terpans, Ohio St. Buckeyes, Florida Gators and Auburn Tigers.

Stefon Diggs Update: Ohio State Favored To Sign Him Despite Late Maryland Visit, According To Report

Wide receiver Stefon Diggs, a five-star recruit from Maryland, is visiting with the Maryland Terrapins. His high school teammate, Wes Brown, committed to the Terps on National Signing Day and it was previously thought that the two players could be a packaged deal. Instead, it looks like they could go their separate ways. The latest rumor has Urban Meyer and the Ohio State Buckeyes emerging as late favorites to capture the talented wideout's signature.

Of course, this is still a whole lot of rumor and not a lot of concrete information, but this could be a massive blow to the Terps. Diggs would, if he enrolled at Maryland, be one of the most talented and highly coveted talents to ever come to the school. Diggs has visited Florida and Auburn in addition to Maryland and Ohio State.

Stefon Diggs Said He And Wes Brown Were A Package Deal 10 Months Ago

Stefon Diggs Update: Five-Star Local Recruit To Visit Maryland, Danny O'Brien To Host Him, According To Report

Five-star wide receiver recruit Stefon Diggs of Our Lady Of Good Counsel in Olney, Md. is probably the top recruit in the nation still unsigned after National Signing Day 2012. The Maryland Terrapins have made a late push to sign the local product and will host him for a visit over the weekend, as SB Nation's Maryland blog Testudo Times reminds us.

Testudo Times reports that Diggs will attend Saturday's basketball game between the Terps and North Carolina at Comcast Center and that quarterback Danny O'Brien will host him.

We already knew that this was in the works, but we've gotten some extra confirmation that it is, indeed, happening. And, as a bonus, we've been told his host on the official visit will be Danny O'Brien, who would likely be Diggs' quarterback in College Park. I'm not sure I could've picked a better host.

Ohio State is probably the favorite for Diggs' services, but that final visit means a lot for the Terps' chances. Diggs' family is close with Terps head coach Randy Edsall, and Maryland already brought in three of Diggs' high-school teammates, including four-star running back Wes Brown. The Terps may very well pull a rabbit out of their hat to improve their recruiting class.

Maryland Football Recruiting Rankings: Terps Ranked 47th After National Signing Day 2012

Randy Edsall was hired too late in the process to make a real significant impact on the Terrapins 2011 recruiting class, so this was really the first class that he could get his hands on. And considering that the Terps are coming off a 2-10 season, the class they were able to secure is actually pretty impressive.

The Terps finished strong and came in with the 47th best class in the Nation according to Scout.com. They rank them by the Conference over at Rivals, and the Terps are given the 7th best class in the Conference, right behind North Carolina. The Terps got some important local recruits in Wes Brown and Albert Reid, which could set the foundation of even stronger classes moving forward.

Maryland Football Recruiting: Terps Officially Announce 24 Commitments On National Signing Day 2012

Maryland football has officially announced 24 commitments on National Signing Day 2012, 20 of which have faxed letters of intent already in. The Terps' class is headlined by four-star running back Wes Brown, a Good Counsel product that switched his commitment to Maryland at the Under Armour Game earlier in the month.

More: On the 2012 Terps Recruiting Class

Brown is one of several four-star recruits signed by the Terps. The others include Friendship Collegiate running back Albert Reid, Massachusetts linebacker Abner Logan, Good Counsel offensive lineman Mike Madaris and Atlanta offensive lineman Nick Brigham. A complete list of all of Maryland's recruits can be found here.

The Terps did miss out on a number of recruits, including North Carolina offensive lineman D.J. Reader, who went to Clemson. Top in-state recruits Eddie Goldman and Ronald Darby both went to Florida State. Five-star athlete Stefon Diggs of Good Counsel did not make a decision and is making an official visit to Maryland over the weekend.

The Terps' class is ranked No. 7 in the ACC and No. 43 overall as of now, according to Scout.com.

National Signing Day 2012: Albert Reid Picks Maryland For Its 'Engineering Program'

D.J. Reader Picks Clemson Over Maryland On 2012 National Signing Day

One of the few remaining targets for the Marland Terrapins has decided to go elsewhere in college, lineman D.J. Reader will go to Clemson instead, coach Dabo Swinney confirmed on the ESPN National Signing Day 2012 special. Reader was considered a Maryland lean until recently, but flipped his recruitment within the last day according to reports.

Reader is an enormous three-star offensive guard/defensive tackle from Greensboro, North Carolina. The Terps would have likely used him on defense at nose tackle, which is a very important position for them as they move to the 3-4 under new defensive coordinator Brian Stewart. This would have been a very good get for them, but they only got on Reader late in the game so it is not surprising that they did not end up with him.

National Signing Day 2012: Stefon Diggs To Maryland A Possibility, Ron Zook Says

Stefon Diggs, a five-star athlete from Our Lady of Good Counsel High School in Olney, Md., will not be announcing his college decision on National Signing Day 2012, but he remains a major topic of discussion. Why? It appears that Maryland is making a late push to sign him, as he's scheduled to take a visit to campus this weekend.

One analyst even believes that Diggs could ultimately choose Maryland. Former Illinois coach Ron Zook, who is now a CBS Sports analyst, said he thinks the Terps have a legitimate shot. Via MaxPreps:

Former Illinois head coach Ron Zook, who was impressed with Diggs even as a ninth grader, believes there's a chance that Diggs will stay at home to play for Maryland.

Zook said that Maryland assistant Mike Locksley has a great relationship with Diggs and his family and could convince the nation's No. 2 athlete to sign with Maryland.

Zook and Locksley have worked together, so it's possible Zook is just giving him dap. Most analysts believe Florida is in the lead for Diggs' services, with Auburn chasing behind him.

Wes Brown Officially Commits To Maryland Football On National Signing Day 2012

National Signing Signing Day 2012 is finally here, and while some of the big names have yet to even verbally commit to a school, there are a lot of recruits that have already made those decisions. For them this is the first day that they can fax in their LOI's and become an official commitment to their schools. Randy Edsall has been tweeting all morning when he receives LOI's from specific recruits, and that includes one of their most important local recruits, Wes Brown.

Wes Brown (Good Counsel) is on board and coming to Maryland.

— Randy Edsall (@RandyEdsall) February 1, 2012

Brown committed somewhat late, during the Under Armor All-American Bowl, but was instantly in the conversation for best player in the incoming class. You never know what is going to happen on Signing Day, so getting his commitment official is a big deal for Maryland.

Some other names that have officially committed to Maryland this morning are; Shawn Petty, Perry Hills, Anthony Nixon, Brock Dean and PJ Gallo.

Maryland Football Recruiting: Wes Brown Leads Class, But Terps Looking For More

As National Signing Day officially approaches the Maryland Terrapins are hoping to pull in two four-star recruits. One of the recruits is a local player in four-star running back Wes Brown from Olney, Md out of Our Lady Of Good Counsel. Brown committed in early January, but it won't be made official until signing day. Brown is rated as the No. 14 running back of the 2012 recruiting class.

The Terps are also hoping to land four-star linebacker Abner Logan from Brookline, MA out of Dexter High School. Logan is ranked as the No. 24 ranked linebacker in the country and the No. 3 player from the state of Massachusetts. The Terps are also pursuing hometown five-star defensive tackle Eddie Goldman in the hopes to pull a coup, but as it stands, that looks unlikely. They remain in the mix for top wide receiver recruit Stefon Diggs, who will not announce on signing day.

Maryland Football Recruiting: Stefon Diggs To Visit Terrapins

Our Lady of Good Counsel (Olney, Md.) wide receiver Stefon Diggs has decided to visit the Maryland Terrapins just a day before National Signing Day, though he does not plan to make his announcement Wednesday.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pound standout is the nation's No. 14 recruit according to MaxPreps and the No. 3 athlete on the board as well. He is ranked No. 8 overall prospect in the country by Rivals.com, who gave him five stars.

Diggs will most likely announce his decision on Feb.10. He has made official visits to California, Florida, Auburn and Ohio State and has received over 30 offers from various schools. He had 36 catches for 808 yards and scored 13 touchdowns this season.

Maryland Football Recruiting: Mike Locksley Making Recruiting Difference Already

Before he flamed out at New Mexico,Mike Locksley was known as one of the best college football recruiters in the nation and that's a big reason he was re-hired by the Maryland Terrapins this season.

And while he's only been on the job for a few weeks, Locksley is already paying dividends in that field.

Indeed, Locksley has made an immediate impact by taking the lead in the recruitment of tailback Wes Brown from Good Counsel in Olney, Md. Brown, a consensus four-star prospect, committed to Maryland while playing in the Under Armour All-American Bowl on Jan. 5 and is considered the prized catch of Edsall's first full recruiting class.

Locksley kept his Maryland/D.C. ties even when he was in New Mexico, where he had multiple players from the Maryland-D.C. area on the roster. One of them, safety Zach Dancel, announced earlier this month that he is transferring to Maryland.

National Signing Day 2012: Stefon Diggs Will Not Make Announcement On Wednesday, According To Report

The biggest, somewhat realistic target that the Marland Terrapins have on their list still is Good Counsel wide receiver Stefon Diggs. But those hoping for a conclusion to his recruiting will have to wait a little while past Signing Day, as Diggs will not make his announcement on Wednesday, according to Jim Halley of USA Today.

Good Counsel (Olney, Md.) football coach Bob Milloy said that wide receiver Stefon Diggs is unlikely to sign on Wednesday, the first day of the national letter of intent period for football. . .

"I think he is a little confused right now," Milloy said. "He's got a little bit of a decision to make. He just got back from a visit to Ohio State."

While this is somewhat of a disappointment, this is not totally uncommon. Wednesday is the first day that recruits can send in their letters of intent, not the deadline for them to pick their next school. So while Maryland remains in the hunt for Diggs, it could be a little while before we know what his intentions are.

Maryland Football Recruiting: Terps May Be In Lead For D.J. Reader, According To Report

With the 2012 National Signing Day approaching, Maryland football may be pushing back into the lead for three-star offensive lineman D.J. Reader. Reader was seemingly a given to be landed by Clemson, but a report by Mike Farrell of Rivals suggests that the Terps are making a late push.

Was just texted by a good source that says DJ Reader could select #Maryland over #Clemson now.

— Mike Farrell (@rivalsmike) January 30, 2012

Reader, a 6'3'', 306-pound lineman from North Carolina, is currently ranked No. 19 among offensive lineman recruits and No. 20 in the state of North Carolina. He would bolster a Terps' recruiting class that has jumped up several notches since Mike Locksley was hired.
