The Maryland football program has really pick up steam on the recruiting trail as of late.
On Wednesday evening, the Terrapins continued their momentum as they picked up a commitment from Bishop McNamara offensive tackle Spencer Anderson. Anderson chose the Terrapins over North Carolina, Pittsburgh, and Wake Forest.

This comes after landing four pledges in the last five days. Most recently, Maryland secured a commitment from Hatfield (Va.) wide receiver Brian Cobbs on Tuesday.
According to 247Sports’ Composite rankings, Anderson is rated as the No. 870 prospect in the 2018 class. In addition, the Bishop McNamara standout is ranked as the No. 72 offensive tackle and the 17th-best prospect in Maryland.
The Terps held all eight Crystal Ball predictions for the three-star recruit’s services. Maryland also moved up to No. 20 and sixth in the Big Ten in 247Sports’ class rankings.
Coach D.J. Durkin and his staff have really made the offensive line a priority in the 2018 class. With eight months until National Signing Day, the Terps already hold pledges from offensive tackle Jaelyn Duncan and offensive guard Evan Gregory, who are both four-star prospects.
Despite struggling to protect the quarterback at times in 2016, Maryland’s offensive line showed a ton of potential. Offensive tackles Derwin Gray and Damian Prince and center Brendan Moore return this fall and will have two years of eligibility remaining.
The Big Ten has always been a meat and potatoes type of conference. The offensive line and the running game are integral parts of any team’s success in such a conference.

With Maryland pulling in several talented offensive linemen, greener pastures are certainly up ahead for the program if it continues.
