Son of Steelers' Tomlin commits to Terrapins

Maryland landed its first commitment since September on Tuesday when wide receiver Dino Tomlin announced his commitment to the Terps. Tomlin is a three-star wide receiver and the son of Pittsburgh Steelers coach, Mike Tomlin.

The 6-foot, 163-pound recruit out of Shady Side Academy in Pittsburgh also has ties to the program as his uncle, Ed Tomlin, played football at Maryland in the 1980's.

"I feel it's a place I can develop and compete against the best," Tomlin said.

Tomlin is the first commitment for Maryland since head coach DJ Durkin was fired after an investigation into the culture of the program and the death of offensive lineman Jordan McNair.
