Maryland football earned the commitment of three-star class of 2027 wide receiver Kyren Caldwell on Saturday, celebrating the holiday with a receiver they hope can create some fireworks in College Park.

Caldwell’s commitment is a big win for the Terps — the Florida native chose Maryland over Alabama, Auburn and Mississippi State.

Caldwell is the 19th player and the fifth wide receiver and in the class of 2027 to commit to the Terps, joining fellow three-stars Alex Fontenot, Anthony Henderson, Mason McClure and Davion Vanderbilt in his position group.

Interestingly, none of those five are Marylanders, and just one is from a neighboring state (Henderson, Virginia). Head coach Mike Locksley has chosen to expand his search well beyond the DMV for talent in a room that needs to be replenished over the coming years, matching a growing trend in Maryland looking outside the region for talent.

Nine states are represented in the Terps’ 2027 class, with Texas, Florida, Tennessee and Virginia leading the way.
