When Maryland football head coach Mike Locksley took over the Terrapin program in January 2019 he had his sights set on one group of recruits in particular.
“[2021] was the class we targeted,” Locksley said. “I knew that relationship building was about a two-year cycle...and knowing how great a class this area had locally, as well as our ability to continue to stretch all throughout the country to get players, we put a lot of point of emphasis on this one.”
The DMV area was home to seven of the top 100 players in the Class of 2021, led by Oklahoma signee, quarterback Caleb Williams.
