Reports: Terps land Georgia DE

Multiple media outlets are reporting that defensive end Nermin Delic committed to Maryland today.

Delic, a three-star prospect who also plays tight end for Northwest Whitfield in Dalton, Ga., pledged to the Terps at their summer football camp.

The 6-foot-5, 220-pounder told Rivals.com he could play defensive end or tight end in college.

“I don’t have a preference as far as position,” he said. “I’ve played more at defensive end but I will be playing more tight end this season. I picked Maryland for all the other reasons aside from football, life after football and the people I met.”

Delic, who was born in Bosnia and came to the United States at age 6, picked Maryland over offers from Marshall, Florida International, Florida Atlantic and Middle Tennessee State.

Check back with Recruiting Report later this week for more on Delic’s commitment.

"picked Maryland over offers from Marshall, Florida International, Florida Atlantic and Middle Tennessee State"

one would hope so...

Historically, the MD staff has been great at finding talented football players other teams overlook. So, I wouldn't read too much into the list of schools that offered Delic already.
