Maryland's final piece of the 2020 class has made his way to Maryland.

Potomac (Md.) wide receiver Corey Dyches moved into College Park on Sunday as the 6-foot-1, 190-pound athlete is set for the next step of his playing career. The two-sport athlete has an opportunity to walk-on for the basketball team as well after Dyches finished his senior year averaging 24 points per game.

Dyches put a bow on his high school career after being named first team All-Met for both football and basketball, becoming just the second athlete to do so since former Sherwood quarterback and point guard Deontay Twyman won both back in 2006-2007. His raw athleticism was a big reason why he became a focal point for the staff last cycle as the in-state prospect announced his verbal on April 11th. Dyches became the first of four receivers for wide receiver coach Joker Phillips as more speed joins the unit.

The uber-athletic wideout spent part of his offseason training with former Maryland receiver James Milling, according to Potomac head coach Ronnie Crump, as Dyches joins a loaded receiver room alongside Rakim Jarrett, Nick DeGennaro and early enrollee Deajaun McDougle. As a senior, Dyches flashed his bounce and athleticism as he repeatedly proved to be a mismatch in man coverage.

Dyches did not sign during the February signing period and though the program has yet to announce his addition, Dyches joins the team after just a week of individual, voluntary workouts. The Maryland staff is expected back on campus early this week as the team navigates through the stringent health measures.

As a senior, Dyches finished with 1,265 yards and 19 touchdowns on 51 catches on the gridiron.
