The first Maryland football recruit in with a signed national letter of intent was offensive lineman Johnny Jordan from Gonzaga College High School in Washington.
He's listed as a center who is 6-foot-1 and 301 pounds. His letter arrived shortly after 7 a.m.
Maybe the most important letter quickly followed: Kasim Hill of St. John's College High School, 6-2, 229 pounds, could be the Terps' quarterback of the present and future.
From Baltimore, Hill played at Gilman before transferring to St. John's before last season.
The arrival of Hill's letter came right before the biggest surprise of the morning.
