For budding high school football recruits, the summer heading into their senior year can be an important time to secure collegiate offers to play.
South Carroll's Silas Kelly was in such a position.
Already with pledges from Albany and Eastern Michigan — both Football Championship Subdivision schools — Kelly was hoping to get more attention when he attended a one-day camp at University of Maryland on Thursday.
What he didn't expect, however, was the trip to turn out so well.
His performance at the camp caught Terrapins coach Randy Edsall's attention, Kelly said, and at the end of the day he was offered a full scholarship.
