Maryland added to its 2018 recruiting class with its second commit, the newest addition being a five-star in-state product.
Jalen Smith, a 6-foot-9 forward from Baltimore powerhouse Mount St. Joseph, committed to the Terrapins, making the announcement on Twitter.
“I believe that I can academically and athletically achieve my goals at home through my commitment to the University of Maryland ... Go Terps,” he tweeted as part of a long passage.
Smith is listed as the No. 13 overall recruit in the Class of 2013 by Rivals. He joins four-star swingman Aaron Wiggins in Mark Turgeon’s current recruiting class.
Playing for Team Takeover on the Nike EYBL circuit, Smith is averaging 10.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks per game.
