Maryland Varsity is bringing readers an in-depth recruiting look with the

......................................................................................................





Dunbar running back Coleman Blackston

Recruiting: “Right now, the only school that is talking to me is Towson.
There are not any other schools.”

Towson situation: “They haven't offered
but I’ve been talking to their running back coach. He has been calling me.”


A favorite college growing up: “Growing up my favorite college was Penn
State. I still want to go there so hopefully they’ll come.”

......................................................................................................





Good Counsel linebacker DaSharnte Thompson

Recruiting: “Right now, I’ve been talking a lot to Old Dominion and Fordham
University but I am still open to everyone.”

Offers: “No.”

Others
sending mail: “Towson and New Hampshire.”

Visits: “I’ll take my trips
after my season is over.”

Schools he wants to visit: “I definitely want
to get up to Rutgers, down to North Carolina, and a few schools like Old
Dominion.”

Schools close to offering: “They could be, they could not be.
I am just worrying about the season.”

A favorite college growing
up:“Rutgers for the most part.”

......................................................................................................





DeMatha athlete Darryl Turner

His injury: “I broke my tibia and tore my patella tendon jumping for a pass.
I came off the ground and my knee twisted. It just broke.”

How
reclassifying works for him to now be in the Class of 2016: “At DeMatha, if an
injury is bad enough, they can get you a waiver because I couldn’t go to school.
They got me a waiver and I’ll be a fifth year senior.”

What are you able
to do now: “Right now, I’m still not at school. I am just rehabbing and trying
to get back.”

The hardest part of the injury: “It is tough. The pain is
kind of tough but the worst part is not being able to play and practice with my
tem every day.”

If recruiting has slowed down: “Actually after I got
hurt, a lot more letters came in asking me how I was doing and encouraging me.
Once they found out I was in 2016, they started picking up more.”

A
favorite college growing up: “My favorite college growing up was probably Miami
or Maryland.”

Visits:“I went to a Boston College game a couple of weeks
ago and I am trying to fly out to Cal and probably Notre Dame too.”

......................................................................................................





Aberdeen quarterback LaVell McCullers

Recruiting: “Right now, it has been NIU, Towson, Coastal Carolina, Missouri,
UMASS, and Temple.”

Offers: “JMU, Towson, and NIU are waiting until the
end of my senior year to see how it went.”

College visits: “I’ve been to
Towson, JMU, Delaware, Temple, NC State, and UNC.”

A favorite: “No, I
don’t have any favorites right now. I am still keeping my options open.”


A favorite college growing up: “My favorite school was Oregon and the U, Miami
University.”

......................................................................................................





Suitland athlete Nick Nelson

Recruiting: “I talked to Temple, the University of South Carolina, Towson,
North Carolina A&T, and North Carolina Central.”

Who has offered: Right
now I just have them from North Carolina A&T and North Carolina Central.”

A final
decision: “Probably after I sent out my highlight tapes and see what coaches
think.”

A favorite: “South Carolina.”

recent visits but I made a visit to South Carolina back in July.”
