With less than a week before National Signing Day Feb. 1, the University of Maryland football program appears headed to its highest-rated recruiting class in more than a decade.
After the commitment of DeMatha High School's Anthony McFarland Jan. 27 -- the second-best player in the state of Maryland and third-rated all-purpose running back in the nation, according to Rivals.com -- Maryland's 2017 recruiting class sits at No. 13 in the nation, per Rivals.
The last time the Terps were close to that ranking in Rivals' list was when they finished with the 16th-rated class in 2005. That class included future NFL wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey.
