looks like he will be an excellent player.  the school he comes from puts out a few really good prospects every year too. Not a bad place to get into at all.  Next years class already has a 6'6" 270lb lineman named Mike Madaras who according to his profile also runs 4.8 forty.  might be a pretty good pipeline from maryland to have.
