Ulmer tweeted he expects to make a decision on his future school by December. The Laurel native, rated a three-star recruit by Rivals and Scout, never appeared in a game for the Terps.
As a senior at St. John’s College High School, Ulmer passed for more than 1,100 yards, rushed for more than 1,300 yards, scored 21 touchdowns and was selected to the prestigious Under Armour All-America High School game. But early last season he moved to wide receiver.
Ulmer was one of two highly-rated dual-threat high school quarterbacks that switched positions with the Terps. Redshirt sophomore Shane Cockerille, another four-star ESPN recruit, moved from quarterback to fullback this summer. He’s second on the depth chart behind Kenneth Goins Jr.
This news comes three days after the Terps fired Randy Edsall and appointed offensive coordinator Mike Locksley, the interim head coach, who recruited Ulmer.
