5-Star Recruit Zion Elee Chooses Maryland, Boosts 2026 Rankings
Maryland football has secured a major commitment from five-star edge rusher Zion Elee, marking the highest-ranked recruit in the program's history. Elee, a standout from St. Frances Academy in Baltimore, chose Maryland over top programs like Alabama, Oregon, and Penn State. This commitment highlights head coach Michael Locksley's success in in-state recruiting, although there's potential for Elee to flip before National Signing Day. Elee's addition is a significant boost for Maryland's 2026 recruiting class.
