The Maryland Terrapins have added another former Aggie to the roster, as George Turkson Jr. announced he was headed to College Park on Thursday. The freshman forward entered the portal earlier this week with a "do not contact" tag and was part of A&M's 2024 recruiting class as a four-star recruit.

Turkson Jr. joins fellow Aggie teammates Andre Mills, Solomon Washington, and Pharrel Payne as guys who decided to follow Buzz Williams to Maryland.

Texas A&M transfer George Turkson Jr. announced his commitment to Maryland. The 6’7 forward will be a redshirt freshman with four years of eligibility.

His pledge comes a day after Andre Mills’, another Aggies freshman who hails from the Boston area. The two were AAU teammates.
