Four-star edge rusher Neeo Avery signed with Maryland football Wednesday after previously committing to Ole Miss, the team announced on Twitter.
Maryland football head coach Mike Locksley has made it a mission of his to flip certain elite prospects over the years and has had great success doing so. He did it once again in this cycle by prying away Avery from the SEC school and convincing him to stay home.
Avery is from Olney, Maryland, and attended Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic High School. Avery is the 38th-best edge rusher in the country and the seventh-best prospect from Maryland, according to 247Sports Composite.
