For the second time in two days, another football player has said he will join Maryland.
Defensive end DeShawn Holt of Westlake in Charles County verbally committed to the Terps on Monday on Twitter, becoming the eighth member of the Class of 2019. Holt joins Deonte Banks of Edgewood as the two new Terps recruits to commit for next year’s group.
A 6-foot-5, 220-pounder who runs a 4.74 40-yard dash, Holt is a three-star recruit who visited Rutgers on Saturday and already had an offer from Temple.
But to Holt, once he was able to pique the Terps’ interest, the game was over.
