When Stefon Diggs signed with Maryland over Florida and Ohio State in 2012, Terrapin fans hoped it would be the start of a new era in College Park. The team would be moving to the Big Ten soon, and what better way to announce the program's arrival than by grabbing a top-10 prospect from their own backyard, holding off national powers to finally keep somebody home?
Stefon ended up doing all he could in College Park, scoring 17 total touchdowns in three seasons of injury-plagued play, but it still wasn't enough. Maryland posted an 18-20 record in his three seasons with the Terrapins, and at one point Diggs was catching passes from a true freshman scout-team linebacker.
