Anthony McFarland is a far-from-ordinary talent, a four-star running back from DeMatha rated the nation's No. 3 all-purpose back, No. 2 recruit in Maryland and No. 160 overall player in the 247Sports.com Composite rankings. He has scholarship offers from Alabama, Miami, Penn State and Maryland, among others.
Because normal commitment news conferences are so 2016, McFarland also made his pledge Friday far from ordinary: He committed to the Terps via Snapchat.
Bleacher Report chronicled his decision day on its feed through the ephemeral messaging service. Like a lot of Snapchat feeds, it was pretty mundane, required considerable patience and featured so many emoji.
