The University of Maryland played host to a few thousand spectators for its annual Red-White spring game. Not only was it a free show for the Terrapin faithful, it was also a great opportunity to play host to top recruits from around the region. Coming off a week that consisted of three commitments in eight days, coach Edsall and company looked to maintain momentum with new offers. The Terrapins are looking to establish roots in Big Ten territory and have been looking in Texas as of late.

New offers (all ratings via the 247Sports Composite):

  • Wylie East (TX) WR Aubrey White. The 5’11, 190-pound wide out also received an offer from Purdue. He holds offers from Alabama, Oklahoma, Missouri and Michigan State.

  • Katy (TX) LB Paddy Fisher. At 6’2, 215 pounds, Fisher ranks as a three-star recruit and is ranked as the 43rd-best inside linebacker in the class of 2016. Fisher holds offers from Baylor, Boston College, Houston and others

  • The third Texas recruit to receive a Maryland offer was 2016 safety Chris Brown. At 5’11, 183 pounds, Brown ranks as a three-star prospect per 247 sports and holds offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Louisville and Missouri among others

  • Pennsylvania safety Andrew Pryts. A 6’2, 195 prospect from Hickory High School, Pryts ranks as the 44th-best safety in the class of 2016 and the 14th-best player in the state of Pennsylvania. Pryts holds offers from multiple Big Ten schools including Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan State. He also holds an offer from Alabama but is considered a Penn State lean

  • Michigan commit David Reese. At 6’1, 235 pounds, Reese ranks as the 19th-best inside linebacker and the 17th-best player in Michigan. He committed to the Wolverines while visiting Ann Arbor on April 4th.

  • Illinois safety Kenny Lyke. Fremd High School junior ranks as the 38th-best safety and 13th-best player in Illinois. He holds offers from Michigan State, Baylor, Illinois, Iowa, Penn State and Rutgers among others. Michigan State is considered the early favorite.

  • Top 2016 Tight End Naseir Upshur received an offer from UCF
