Maryland football’s much-anticipated game against Washington last Saturday attracted a sellout crowd. It also brought numerous high-profile recruits.
Class of 2026 four-star offensive tackle Thomas Wilder – who appears to trend toward choosing the Terps – was among them. Wilder attends Green Run High School in Virginia Beach, and originally stayed in-state with a commitment to Virginia Tech.
After the Hokies lost their first three games of the season and fired coach Brent Pry, Wilder decommitted.
“The head coach had left, so I feel like that changed a lot of things,” Wilder told The Diamondback Saturday. “I’m just trying to weigh my options out now.”
Saturday was Wilder’s second visit to College Park. He first visited on June 13.
247Sports lists Wilder’s interest in Maryland as “warm,” the only school with that classification. InsideMDSports’ Jeff Ermann also predicts that Wilder will choose the Terps.
Other notable recruits who visited Maryland on Saturday include edge rusher Rion Jackson, offensive tackle Brody McNeel and running back Sa’Nir Brooks, per 247Sports. All three are four-star prospects in the 2027 class, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings.
Composite five-star offensive tackle Bryce Smalls, who is listed as Maryland’s lone “Top Target” in the 2028 class, and composite five-star cornerback Langston Pridgeon also visited, according to 247Sports.
Announcements
Khmari Bing, 2026, Defensive Back, St. Frances Academy (Baltimore)
After receiving offers from Alabama, Indiana and Ohio State, Bing decommitted on Monday. The three-star prospect’s future with the Terps seemed uncertain immediately after that trio of offers rolled in.
The 6-foot, 190-pound defensive back chose not to shut down his recruitment after committing to Maryland, taking an official visit to Miami on June 13. He also took an official visit to Ohio State on Oct. 4, less than three weeks after the Buckeyes offered him and just two days before he announced his decommitment.

One of Bing’s teammates at St. Frances, five-star safety Jireh Edwards, is committed to the Crimson Tide. Bing has a visit to Alabama scheduled for Nov. 8, though 247Sports insider Nick Osen predicts he’ll choose the Buckeyes.
Bing announced his commitment to Maryland on Aug. 5, 2024, and was the first commit of Maryland’s 2026 class.
