MM 2.21: Maryland football earns commitment from defensive lineman

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

Maryland football earned its third commitment in the 2025 class on Tuesday when defensive lineman Braheem Battles announced his intention to play for the Terps.

Listed at 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, Battles has not yet garnered a ranking on the 247Sports Composite. This past season, he garnered a second straight all-state selection while playing for Allentown Central Catholic High School in Allentown, Pa.

Maryland, along with Temple, extended Battles an offer last month.
