Ranking Maryland's Class Of 2026 Recruits And Their Potential Impact

Ranking Maryland’s 2026 recruiting class and what they could contribute to the team next season:

1. Zion Elee, DE/OLB, St. Frances (Baltimore, Md.): The 6-3.5, 220-pound five-star from Joppatowne, Md., will be a Day One starter at Maryland, either as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 or, if he bulks up, a true defensive end. Elee could team with Zahir Mathis and Sidney Stewart to give UMD a trio of dynamic edge rushers.
