Maryland football was poised to have an excellent backfield in 2017. The Terps returned Ty Johnson, who led the nation in yards per carry as a sophomore, and Lorenzo Harrison, who wasn’t too far behind. That was before Anthony McFarland committed to Maryland on Friday.
Johnson enjoyed a breakout sophomore campaign that saw him capitalize on his blazing speed. Harrison surprised many with his immediate impact as a true freshman, and was on track to break Maryland’s single-season freshman rushing record before a suspension for shooting an airsoft gun at students on campus ended his season.
