A New Commitment for Maryland
Terrance Grant, a three‑star running back who transferred to DeMatha from the national powerhouse Bishop Gorman in Nevada, has officially pledged to the University of Maryland, adding a highly coveted piece to the Terrapins' 2027 recruiting class.
Ranked as the No. 49 running back nationwide and the No. 16 prospect in Maryland, Grant attracted interest from more than 30 scholarship programs, including traditional powers such as Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Miami, Tennessee, Oregon and Texas A&M. Maryland entered the fray in late 2025, designating him a priority in‑state target and ultimately securing his verbal commitment.
His arrival follows a series of recent additions to the Terrapins' roster, with fellow recruits Caleb Canty, William Jackson, Kevin Jackson and Cardell Williams also joining the class. The group represents a blend of high school standouts and transfer talent, underscoring Maryland's aggressive approach to building depth.
The class currently sits at No. 57 nationally and 16th within the Big Ten, a positioning that reflects both the competitive landscape and the program's upward trajectory under head coach Mike Locksley. Grant, who will line up alongside fellow back Mekhi Graham from Pennsylvania, is viewed as the highest‑rated recruit of the 2027 cycle for the Terrapins.
Recruiting Momentum in College Park
Beyond the individual accolades, Grant's commitment signals a broader ambition for Maryland to contend for top tier status. The coaching staff, led by Mike Locksley, has emphasized a culture of development and competition, hoping that the influx of talent will translate into on‑field success and higher rankings in the coming seasons.
