High-profile visitors once again graced the SECU Stadium turf last Saturday, perhaps none more nationally renowned than Olympic gold medalist and track star Quincy Wilson.

The Bullis School senior took an unofficial visit to College Park for the Terps’ game against Nebraska. He took his official visit in July. Wilson, who lives in Gaithersburg, spoke about the convenience of traveling to College Park.

“It feels great, just 30 minutes, just got straight out from home,” Wilson told The Diamondback on Saturday.

At 16 years old, Wilson became the youngest American male track and field athlete in Olympic history. Scholar Champion Athlete Recruiting ranks Wilson as the No. 1 prospect nationally in the 2026 class. He’s one of two class of 2026 recruits to receive a 99 rating.

Duyon “DQ” Forkpa Jr., 2026, Linebacker, St. Frances Academy (Baltimore)

Forkpa, a four-star prospect and the No. 6 recruit in Maryland per 247Sports’ composite rankings, visited College Park last weekend for Maryland’s game against Nebraska. He could become the latest player from St. Frances Academy to choose the Terps.

Forkpa transferred to the Baltimore school ahead of his senior year after playing his junior season at Mill Creek in Georgia. Coach Michael Locksley has already secured three commitments from players at St. Frances Academy in the upcoming recruiting class: five-star edge rusher Zion Elee, three-star tight end Damon Hall Jr. and three-star cornerback Hakim Satterwhite.

247Sports lists the 6-foot-2, 220-pound linebacker’s interest in Missouri, Michigan, Florida and Florida State as “warm.” Forkpa has visited all four of those schools, as well as Miami, North Carolina and Colorado. He’s the highest-ranked uncommitted prospect in Maryland.

Josiah Vilmael, 2026, Defensive Back, Fort Bend Travis (Richmond, Texas)

Oklahoma State was the first Division I program to offer Vilmael, according to 247Sports, and the three-star prospect committed to the Cowboys the same day. But after longtime coach Mike Gundy was fired on Sept. 23, Vilmael decommitted and reopened his recruitment five days later.

Vilmael also visited College Park the weekend of Oct. 10. Maryland became Vilmael’s second Division I offer in May.

Offers

Men’s Basketball

Kamsi Awaka, 2027, Center, Blair Academy (Blairstown, New Jersey)

Coach Buzz Williams and the Terps were the first Power Five program to offer Awaka, a four-star center and a top-100 prospect in the 2027 class, on Oct. 8. Awaka previously received offers from Fordham, High Point, Iona and Rhode Island.

The 6-foot-10 prospect is the third center in the 2027 class that Maryland has offered.

Anderson Diaz, 2027, Point Guard, Lawrence Woodmere Academy (Woodmere, New York)

Maryland offered Diaz, a four-star prospect ranked the No. 2 player in New York and No. 34 prospect nationally by 247Sports’ composite rankings, on Oct. 4. Diaz holds offers from 11 other Division I programs, including Illinois, Syracuse, St. John’s and Villanova.

He’s the first recruit from New York in the 2027 class that Maryland has offered.

Announcements

Tristan Reed, 2026, Center, Link Academy (Branson, Missouri)

Reed narrowed his recruitment to five schools on Monday. The four-star prospect will choose between Maryland, Ohio State, Michigan State, Mississippi State and Missouri. He took an official visit to Maryland on Oct. 3, though it seems the Terps have the lowest odds of landing Reed.

The Saint Louis native has taken four official visits to Michigan State.

Reed would be the highest-ranked class of 2026 prospect to choose the Terps. He’d also be Maryland’s first center commit of the cycle. 247Sports lists Reed as a “High Choice” for Maryland.

Latrell Allmond, 2026, Power Forward, Petersburg (Petersburg, Virginia)

The recruiting dry spell for Williams and the Terps continued Monday when Allmond committed to Oklahoma State. The No. 2 player in Virginia and No. 27 prospect nationally, per 247Sports’ composite rankings, chose Oklahoma State over Maryland, Indiana, Tennessee and Virginia.

Allmond is the latest of several four-star recruits who have passed on the Terps, though he’s likely the most touted among them. The Richmond native is the highest-ranked four-star prospect in the 2026 class, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings.

Baseball

Colton Baron, 2026, Right-Handed Pitcher, Siegel (Murfreesboro, Tennessee)

Baron committed to Maryland on July 23, becoming the third generation in his family to play baseball for the Terps. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound pitcher has a fastball that tops out at 89 miles per hour. That velocity is in the 97th percentile for the 2026 class, according to Perfect Game.
