What It Means: Jerzhan Newton To Maryland

Maryland needs help along the defensive line, and Aug. 31, the days of the Terps’ season opener, they landed three-star end Jerzhan “Juice” Newton (Clearwater Central/Clearwater, Fla.), who projects as a JACK in UMD’s defense. The 6-foot-3, 250-pounder chose the Terps over UCF, which came on late and made a hard charge for the in-state product. USF and Kansas State were also involved, while Florida State, the one-time favorite, backed off its pursuit.
