Both are defensive tackles, and 247sports ranked Breyon as the No. 19 defensive tackle and Brandon as the No. 47 defensive tackle in the nation. Breyon was the No. 15 prospect in Virginia while Brandon was ranked No. 18.
Breyon stands 6-foot-5 and 335-pounds. Brandon is the same height, but weighs 289 pounds.
The twins play at Bishop Sullivan Catholic in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and were primarily recruited by wide receivers coach Chris Beatty.
The pairing had committed to Tennessee, but decommitted on Nov. 29. They also had offers from Georgia, Clemson, Florida State and University of South California, but opted for the Terps after an official visit this weekend.
The Terps 2017 class now has 24 verbal commits and is ranked No. 15 nationally by 247sports. Five of those 24 recruits play on the defensive line.
After losing five-star defensive end Josh Kaindoh earlier this month, the Terps have six four-star prospects slated to join the team next fall.
Four-star quarterback Kasim Hill welcomed the Gaddy twins after they announced their commitment.
