While some recruits across the country changed their minds on National Signing Day, most in Maryland stayed put with their commitments.
The only major announcement of the day was
Potomac (Oxon Hill, Md.) athlete
Ron Darby, who signed with Florida State. Darby was previously committed to Notre Dame but backed out earlier in January.
With National Signing Day all but over for Maryland's top prospects in the Class of 2012, the attention now turns to
Our Lady of Good Counsel (Olney, Md.) wide receiver
Stefon Diggs, who will announce his destination on Feb. 10. Diggs is expected to choose between Ohio State, Maryland, Auburn, California and Maryland.
Diggs is set to take a visit to Maryland this weekend, where running back
Wes Brown and offensive lineman
Mike Madaras — Diggs' teammates at Good Counsel — signed on Wednesday.
Once the Diggs decision is in, all eyes will immediately turn to the Class of 2013, which boasts a trio of top prospects to watch, according to recruiting analyst Tom Lemming.
Hylton (Woodbridge, Va.) linebacker
E.J. Levenberry,
Dunbar (Washington, D.C.) quarterback
Lamel Matthews and Good Counsel running back
Dorian O'Daniel all check in on Lemming's Class of 2013 watch list.
Levenberry is highly sought after, boasting offers from Alabama, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Maryland, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, USC and many others. Levenberry transferred to Hylton after spending his previous seasons with DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.).
Matthews is drawing interest from Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Penn State and Virginia Tech. Major suitors for O'Daniel include California, Florida, Iowa, Maryland and Wisconsin.
A Class of 2014 prospect making some noise is
Dunbar (Baltimore) quarterback
William Crest. Crest holds six early offers from West Virginia, Virginia, Virginia Tech, UTEP, Ohio State and Maryland. His high school teammate, receiver
Deontay McManus, signed a letter of intent to West Virginia on Wednesday.
