Do-everything running back Anthony McFarland Jr. closed his recruitment Friday by committing to play his college ball for Maryland on Bleacher Report's Snapchat:
The Hyattsville, Maryland, native is among the elite prospects in the Class of 2017. Scout gave him a 4-star grade and ranks him as the No. 71 overall player, No. 6 overall running back and No. 1 running back from the state of Maryland.
McFarland is perhaps the most versatile weapon set to make the leap to college football in 2017, as he proved equally capable of running the ball with great effect and catching passes out of both the backfield and the slot at DeMatha Catholic High School.
