Teddy Dargan
I spoke with Milford Mill head coach Reggie White earlier today about Teddy Dargan, the former Terps defensive tackle commitment that was unable to sign with Maryland earlier this week due to academic concerns.
White said he’s in the process of trying to find a school and football team for Dargan next year. Hargrave, another prep school or junior college are all options being considered, according to White. They hope to have a decision by mid-March.
According to White, Dargan’s test score was “a little low, but just the overall GPA – he made a lot of mistakes freshman year that he didn’t make up.”
Dargan made a verbal commitment to Maryland in late 2006, but according to White, realized last month that his academics would prevent him from signing with UM.
“He was upset, but who can he blame?” White said. “He knows he’s made a lot of mistakes, so he’s trying to rectify them.”
Comments
Assuming he turns his academics around at a prep scholl, is it Dargan's intention to try to qualify as a Terp in a year or two? Or did you get the sense that the Terps are no longer interested and that the two are moving in different directions?

Ed,
I really didn't get a sense of that either way. When I spoke with Dargan last month, it seemed like staying close to home was a big priority, so we'll see.
