Maryland Football Recruiting: Transfer portal prospect at key position ready to visit "very soon"
The Terps are making a quick push for a transfer portal prospect at a key spot.
Portal season is in full swing, and one of the top priorities in the portal for Maryland is on the offensive line, where the Terps struggled all season. One offensive line transfer they reached out to is ready to take a trip to campus.
Former Akron offensive tackle Jayvin James received an offer from Maryland offensive line coach Damian Wroblewski today.
"They talked to my high school coach, and they reached out. They talked to a couple of coaches and then talked to me and offered," he said. "They're just very interested. They want to get me out for a visit soon."
Maryland needs immediate help at tackle after its first-year starters had a tough time this season.
"They like the potential, the upside, I would say. They noticed I do a lot of good things now, but I also have another gear I can get to."
A Broward County, Fla., native, James has been getting a lot of calls since he entered the portal. Along with Maryland, he has offers from Cincinnati, UCF and Georgia State, along with serious interest from Louisville, where he plans to visit. Will he be heading to College Park for a visit?
"Yes, very soon."
