Maryland football makes top 5 for 5-star CB Anthony Lytton

Five-star cornerback Anthony Lytton tweeted a top five Tuesday that included Maryland, Florida State, defending-champion Clemson, Alabama and Penn State.

The Henry A. Wise product has been considered a Florida State lean for quite some time, and this doesn’t necessarily change anything, but it shows that Maryland is at least on Lytton’s mind.

The two-time Maryland 4A state champion is the No. 26 overall prospect and the No. 3 cornerback in the nation and the top-ranked player in Maryland on the 247Sports Composite.

Lytton visited Maryland on Friday with teammate and 2019 blue-chip recruit Isaiah Hazel. Lytton didn’t set a date for his final decision, but for now, Maryland appears to at least have a chance. Should he choose the Terps, he’d be Maryland’s highest-ranked commit since Damian Prince in 2014.

From here, Lytton will play in the Under Armour All-American Game in January. The Terps have picked up commitments at the game each of the last two years.
