The Maryland football team erupted into cheers as 9-year-old Callaghan “Cal” Taylor signed his official Letter of Intent. After officially putting pen to paper, Cal traded in his “FEAR THE TURTLE” shirt and red Maryland hat for a brand new No. 44 jersey and clean white “M” hat.
Maryland football head coach Michael Locksley then directed Cal to the front of the room and they led the team in the “Maryland Victory Song”, a tradition the Terps normally save for after a win.
“Everyone’s just been so supportive and everyone that we’ve met, the coaching staff, players, they all, just every single person just welcomed us with a hug and it’s just such a warm environment from the top down,” Shannon Taylor, Cal’s mother, said.
