Maryland hosted their premier recruiting camp, The Big Show, this past weekend on campus in hopes to attract and sell recruits to the university. Blue-chip recruits from across the country piled into College Park to get a look at what Maryland has to offer, according to 247sports. The Terps headed into the weekend boasting a class that features 15 recruits, headlined by four-star offensive lineman E.J. Donahue.
Maryland has been on a recruiting tear as of late, picking up 12 recruits in the month of June alone. The Big Show featured numerous in-state recruits but also attracted a lot of out-of-staters, particularly talent from Florida. Highly touted athletes Ray-Ray McCloud lll, Byron Cowart, George Campbell, Auden Tate and Ryan Davis were all in attendance and all hail from the Sunshine State. Cowart and Campbell are both considered five-star prospects, while McCloud III, Tate and Davis are all four-stars. All five hold an offer from the University of Florida.
Talented athletes and teammates Terrill Gillette and D.J. Moore from Imhotep Institute Charter made the trip from Philadelphia to College Park. Six 2015 commits to Maryland were also in attendance including Florida native Deltron Sands and All-American corner back Kareem Ali, among others.
Familiar faces from the Maryland-D.C area were also in attendance, including four-star dual-threat quarterback Kai Locksley. Maryland is vying against Auburn, Florida State and Texas for his commitment. Maryland is also chasing coveted offensive lineman Isaiah Prince from Roosevelt High in PG County. Prince, who attended The Big Show, is being heavily recruited by powerhouses Alabama, Auburn, Ohio State and Florida but still views his home school as a top option.
