Maryland football recruiting: 4 players to watch

Eyabi Anoma, St. Frances Academy (Baltimore, Md.), Four-Star Defensive End

Anoma is a guy on my list to watch for simply because of his six-foot-five, 230-pound frame. Looking at film on Anoma, he is a pure pass rusher. He’s quick off the line of scrimmage and can shed blockers to get to the ball carrier without trouble. According to the

Rasheed Walker, North Point High School (Waldorf, Md.), Four Star Offensive Tackle
Walker was a first-team All-Conference player on offense and defense for the North Point Eagles who went 9-2 (9-1 Southern Maryland – Chesapeake Region) in 2016.

Walker had Maryland in his final six along with Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Penn State, North Carolina and Rutgers. Walker is impressive as a pass blocker but even more impressive as a run blocker. Maryland’s running game could benefit from his run blocking ability. He currently is the 11th best offensive tackle and the sixth best player in Maryland according to the 247Sports Composite. Check out his junior highlights. 

Daniel George, Oxon Hill High School (Oxon Hill, Md.), Four Star Wide Receiver

Daniel George sits at No. 54 for wide receivers and is the eighth best player in the state of Maryland according to the 247Sports Composite.  See his junior highlights.

Darryl Jones, Princess Anne High School (Virginia Beach, Virginia) Three Star Wide Receiver

Darryl Jones is a deep threat down the field with the size to body up the defensive back he’s up against and the speed and elusiveness to make a play when it needs to be made.

According to the 247Sports Composite, Jones is No. 54 in wide receiver rankings and seventh best player in Virginia.
