COLLEGE PARK, Md. - University of Maryland head football coach Ralph Friedgen announced today the signing of 22 recruits for the 2006 season.
As of late Wednesday afternoon, the class was ranked 28th nationally and fourth in the ACC (behind FSU, Clemson and Miami) by Rivals.com.
This year's class features two quarterbacks, two tailbacks, five wide receivers, one offensive lineman, one tight end, one defensive lineman, four linebackers, four defensive backs and two players who are listed as possibilities on either side of the ball.
The accomplishments of this year's crop of incoming Terrapins include:
The class again sticks to the guidelines Friedgen laid out in his first year in College Park as the Mid-Atlantic region is well represented (eight players from the state of Maryland, one from Virginia), while top players from all over the country have also signed with the Terrapins. Also represented are the states of Pennsylvania (3), Florida (2), New Jersey (1), South Carolina, (1), West Virginia (1), Connecticut (1), North Carolina (1), Washington, D.C. (1), Michigan (1) and the first known Terrapin from the state of Colorado (1).
