Maryland is listed at 6-feet, 180 pounds and is a top-115 quarterback prospect in the 2026 class.

A multi-sport star — he has run a sub-10.5-second 100-meter dash, per Milesplit — Maryland was a part-time QB as a junior in 2024, but still managed to throw for 688 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions, while completing over 75% of his pass attempts.

As evidence of his dual-threat ability, Maryland also rushed for 303 yards and four touchdowns, averaging 5.5 yards per carry.

Maryland chose the Aggies over offers from Utah, Washington State, UNLV and Louisiana, among other schools.

He is the second quarterback to commit to Utah State in the 2026 class, along with Mountain View High’s Brady Goodman, another three-star prospect.

Maryland is the fourth-highest-rated prospect in Utah State’s 2026 class, per 247 Sports, behind only linebacker Brady Flores, cornerback Oshea Webb and tight end Preston McDaniel.
