This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.

Three-star linebacker Justin Okoronkwo announced his decommitment from Maryland football in a tweet Saturday, and just a day later announced his plans to play at Alabama.

Okoronkwo announced his verbal commitment to Maryland back in November and was its first commitment in the 2024 class. The Munich, Germany product toured multiple colleges this summer and impressed many elite programs during his workouts, however, ultimately leading to his decision to reopen his recruitment.

Standing at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, Okoronkwo is rated by the 247Sports Composite as the 33rd-best linebacker in his class and was the Terps’ fifth-highest-rated prospect in their 2024 recruiting class.
