Gonzaga College High School’s Caleb Williams, the consensus No. 1 dual-threat quarterback for the Class of 2021, says Maryland is an attractive potential landing spot because of the relationships he’s built with the coaching staff and thinks the Terps are headed in the right direction regardless of whether or not he commits there.
Williams recently named the final five schools he’s considering, and Maryland made the cut. In addition to the Terps, he’s considering Clemson, LSU, Penn State and Oklahoma. Maryland is the local school of the bunch for the Bowie, Md., native but also stands out because it isn’t a perennial power like the other four programs.
The Terps went 3-9 in 2019 and last had a winning record in 2014. Meanwhile, LSU won the national championship in January; Clemson has won two of the past four national titles; Oklahoma has produced two of the past three Heisman Trophy winners, and Penn State has won 11 games three of the past four years.
