‘I’ve always wanted to go to Maryland’: Terps lock in half-dozen Baltimore-area football recruits

Last week’s early signing day made for a fun time for Baltimore-area recruits with over 40 football players heading to Division I colleges. Six are headed to College Park to play for the Terps.

Three players — fullback Joseph Bearns III, defensive end Terrance Butler Jr. and defensive end ZionAngelo Shockley — are from nationally ranked St. Frances. The other three have their roots in the competitive Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association: running back Roman Hemby at John Carroll, defensive back Dante Trader Jr. at McDonogh and defensive back Jayon Venerable at Archbishop Spalding. All six players are 3-star prospects, per 247 Sports.
