Former four-star defensive back Marcus Lewis announced he’d be transferring to Maryland Saturday afternoon.

The 6-foot-1, 192-pound cornerback was in College Park for a visit Thursday and returned Saturday for the team’s big recruiting cookout to announce his decision, giving himself a birthday present.

The former Gonzaga standout will have to sit out a year, per NCAA transfer rules, but will join a potentially loaded secondary in 2018.
