4-star defensive lineman Tyrone Elee commits to Maryland football

Four-star class of 2028 defensive lineman Tyrone Elee announced his commitment to Maryland football Thursday. The Joppatowne native is the younger brother of Terps freshman Zion Elee, who boasts a team-high six sacks this season. Tyrone Elee, sitting next to his older brother in a Terps beanie, pulled out a Maryland hat and exclaimed, “I will be going to Maryland” before pumping his fists in the air in ecstasy alongside Zion Elee. “I choose Maryland because I really believe in [interim] coach Aazaar [Abdul-Rahim] and what he’s doing for the program,” Tyrone Elee said on a 247Sports livestream. “I think I’ll be a good fit for it.” Elee’s commitment marks a significant recruiting win for Abdul-Rahim. The defensive lineman held 22 offers, with his finalists including Teneesee, Michigan, Georgia Tech and LSU — more decorated football programs than Maryland. His decision to stay local also bodes well for Zion Elee’s chances of staying in College Park.
