Isaiah Hazel, a 4-star wide receiver from Upper Marlboro, became the first player to officially sign with Maryland since the hiring of new football coach Michael Locksley, the team announced in a tweet Wednesday.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Hazel, who initially committed to West Virginia before flipping to the Terps, will announce his signing on the first day of the early signing period, at a 12:45 p.m. news conference at Wise High School.
Hazel is expected to be joined by Lavonte Gater, a 5-foot-11, 165-pound athlete from Ballou High in Washington, Locksley’s alma mater. The high school team tweeted Tuesday night that Gater, a 3-star prospect, will hold a news conference at 10:30 a.
