MM 5.16: Florida State transfer defensive lineman Quashon Fuller commits to Maryland football

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

Florida State transfer Quashon Fuller has committed to head coach Michael Locksley and Maryland football, he announced via Twitter on Friday.

Hailing from Lehigh Senior High School in Fort Myers, Florida, Fuller was a consensus four-star recruit per the 247Sports Composite. Fuller ranked as the No. 202 recruit and No. 14 strong-side defensive end in the class of 2019.

Fuller redshirted for the Seminoles during the 2019 season and played sparingly in the truncated 2020 season. He worked his way into more playing time during his 2021 redshirt sophomore campaign, appearing in 11 games and recording eight tackles, two of which were solo, and one sack.

Fuller entered the transfer portal on April 22 following Florida State’s spring practices, and he found a home in College Park shortly after. He is an exciting add based on potential alone, giving a boost to a pass rush that lost a budding star with the transfer of Demeioun Robinson.

The addition of Fuller is Locksley’s first since spring football ended on April 30. Between his 2019 redshirt year and the extra year of eligibility granted to fall and winter athletes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Fuller should have three years left of college football.
