Maryland football is one of 31 offers for a top-three prospect in the 2026 class. The team extended offers to two more 2026 recruits, one of whom is a dual-sport athlete.

The Terps also made the top-12 for a 2025 recruit who is the No. 6 recruit in his state.

Offers

Immanuel Iheanacho, 2026, offensive tackle, Georgetown Prep (Rockville)

Iheanacho’s hometown Terps joined Alabama, Ohio State and Georgia, among other Power Four schools in his first grouping. Iheanacho is ranked as a five-star, according to the 247Sports Composite, and is the No. 1 recruit in Maryland. He is also the No. 3 prospect nationally and No. 2 offensive tackle.

On3 reporter Chad Simmons said in October that Iheanacho favors Penn State over other schools because of academics. The tackle skipped a visit to Tennessee to watch Maryland’s win over USC.

The junior also plays basketball for the Hoyas, playing power forward and center.

Ben Congdon, 2026, offensive tackle, Tuscarawas Valley (Mineral City, Ohio)

Maryland handed Congdon his fifth Division I offer on Oct. 30 — a list that has grown to six teams following N.C. State’s offer two days later.
