Maryland Terrapins

Maryland, like all the other programs, is in the middle of spring practice. Recruits have been making trips to campus to watch teams up close and personal, meet with the staff, and some have received offers. The Terrapins have been busy on the recruiting front and have been reaching out to some big-name prospects. I caught up with some to discuss their offers.

“I had a great conversation with Coach Spav when he called and offered me. He has some ties to the Houston area and said he loved my tape and sees me as a versatile defensive back who can play any spot in the secondary,” Jammer said.

He also has offers from Texas State, Old Dominion, Middle Tennessee, UTEP, Montana State, Delaware State, Tulsa, Louisiana, Boston College, Arkansas State, Baylor, Missouri State, Coastal Carolina, North Texas, Utah, Hawaii, Arizona, and Duke.
