Maryland pulled off a Signing Day surprise by flipping offensive tackle Andre Roye. The Baltimore (Md.) St. Frances offensive tackle had been committed to Penn State since late September.

Roye originally chose Penn State over Maryland in a bit of a surprise. The Penn State coaches had no idea he was committing to them ahead of time.

USC extended a late offer when they hired Lincoln Riley. Roye took an official visit to the Los Angeles campus this past weekend and there was a decent chance he could flip to the Trojans.

Instead, Roye decided to stay home and sent his NLI to Maryland the morning of Signing Day.
