Anthony McFarland is the 2nd Maryland target to delay his commitment this week

Maryland football still has a chance at landing Anthony McFarland, but DJ Durkin and his staff will have to wait longer than expected to hear his decision.

The four-star running back from DeMatha Catholic High School (Hyattsville, Md.) was expected to announce Wednesday, but he’s pushing that back for the time being.

McFarland is the second Maryland target to delay his decision this week, joining four-star corner Tariq Castro-Fields, who moved his announcement date to National Signing Day. Experts predicted Castro-Fields to commit to Penn State before he delayed his decision, and McFarland was considered a Miami lean before this announcement.

It’s still unclear when McFarland will ultimately choose between Maryland and Miami, but both programs seem to still have a chance.

SB Nation deemed the Quick Lane Bowl between Maryland and Boston College the least watchable game of bowl season; instead, it gave us four scores of 49 yards or more, a throwback pass, a long string of Maryland plays inside the 20, 23 tackles for loss, and a fumble recovery touchdown.

BC went up 36-13 early in the third quarter, then had to hold on for dear life as Maryland scored the next 17. But the comeback stalled.
