Three-star McDonogh quarterback Preston Howard commits to Maryland: ‘I’m going where I can build’

The Maryland football team continues to recruit in-state talent, this time landing three-star McDonogh quarterback Preston Howard.

Howard was overjoyed to commit to a program that he has long dreamed of playing for ever since his Arbutus recreational football days.

“It feels great,” said Howard, who announced his commitment Sunday in a video on Twitter. “I can’t explain it. I’m so happy, you know? It’s a really great feeling. I’m going where I can build and knowing the kinds of plays that I can make and just be great.”

The 6-foot-5, 220-pound dual-threat quarterback had several scholarship offers from Power Five schools, including Arizona State, Auburn, Boston College, Michigan, Penn State, Syracuse and West Virginia.
