Here’s your weekly recap of all Maryland football commitments’ high school games.
Tyler Urban -- 6-foot-4, 240-pound defensive end from North Huntingdon (Pa.) Norwin

Urban rushed for 74 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries. He also registered seven tackles, two sacks, one quarterback pressure and one forced fumble.
"Our defense has been playing with our backs against the wall all year," Urban told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "It was nice to see us respond. We figured if we had no turnovers in the second half, we'd have a chance."
According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, one of Maryland’s rivals was on hand to watch Urban and another Norwin player.
Urban had a big game for the Knights under the view of West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez and secondary coach Tony Gibson. Even though Urban verbally committed to attend Maryland, the West Virginia coaches were there to see him and [Norwin wide receiver Mike] Shanahan.
They're hoping to convince both to pick WVU.

“He did very well defensively,” said Bishop McNamara head coach Bryce Bevill. “I know he had a sack, he probably had six or seven tackles on defense. We were fortunate enough to get up on them early, so we took him out kind of early in the second half, but Cameron’s been solid all season.
“He’s one of the guys I really feel strongly should be part of the All-Met team as a defensive back. He led our team again with five interceptions. He’s a solid, solid pass defender. From where I’m sitting, he’s All-Met. ... He’s turned in a very good high school career.”
