Maryland Football early enrollees arrive on campus (VIDEO)
In this story:
The Maryland Terrapins football program welcomed a whole host of early enrollees this week, as 11 new players made their way to campus. The Terps' 2025 recruiting class ranks No. 28 in the nation and No. 9 in the Big Ten conference according to 247Sports composite.
The class is headlined by four-star quarterback, Malik Washington. Rated as the No. 5 QB in the nation and the No. 2 overall recruit from the state of Maryland, Washington arrives to College Park with high expectations. Following the departure of Billy Edwards Jr. to the transfer portal, there is certainly going to be an open battle for that QB1 spot this fall, and Washington will be squarely in the mix.
