Klemm makes switch to UM

Marietta, Ga., offensive tackle Nick Klemm has committed to Maryland.

The 6-foot-6, 280-pounder faxed his letter of intent to College Park at 7:01 a.m., according to UMTerps.com.

Klemm had been committed to Boston College, but the turnover on the Eagles’ coaching staff following head coach Jeff Jagodzinski’s departure to the NFL forced Klemm to reevaluate his choice.

The 6-foot-6, 280-pound Klemm was 100 percent committed to Boston College, but that was before the coaching turnover, including offensive line coach Jack Bicknell Jr. taking a job with the NFL’s New York Giants. Klemm made an official visit Dec. 12.

Klemm is rated a two-star prospect by Rivals.com and Scout.com.
