One of DJ Durkin's first recruits when he took the Maryland football head coaching job in December 2015 was Terrance Davis, a highly regarded guard out of DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Md., and Durkin reeled in two more Stag offensive linemen the next two years in Marcus Minor and Evan Gregory.
Davis made nine consecutive starts at right guard as a true freshman in 2016, and Minor followed that act by earning playing time as a freshman in 2017. Durkin lauded the local powerhouse, led by head coach Elijah Brooks, at his National Signing Day news conference in December for producing college-ready offensive linemen.
"They know what they're doing there with linemen. They know what they're doing," Durkin said. "It is hard to come into a place as a true freshman and play on the offensive line, but Terrance Davis did that in his freshman year. Marcus Minor, we think is going to be an all-conference player, NFL football player.
