If there’s one thing Maryland has been able to do consistently well over the past several years, it’s been running the football.
There have been some good running backs in College Park since 2013, but there hasn’t been a blue-chip recruit in the Maryland backfield in quite some time. This means the staff has either identified prospects who were better than their recruiting ratings or they simply got lucky. The reality is probably a bit of both, but isn’t that what good recruiting is all about? Whatever the reason, it’s notable because that hasn’t happened at the quarterback position in a long time.
