Maryland adds four-star QB Cameron Edge to 2022 class

July 26, 2024

Maryland bolstered its 2022 recruiting class Wednesday with Cameron Edge, a quarterback out of Smyrna (Del.) High who previously played at DeMatha. Touted as a four-star prospect per the recruiting rankings at 247Sports, Edge reclassified from the 2023 class.

Edge joins Jayden Sauray, listed as a four-star prospect by ESPN and given three stars by 247Sports, as quarterbacks in Coach Michael Locksley’s newest class. Sauray, from Wise High in Upper Marlboro, joined the program during the early signing period in December.

Edge and Sauray will have a chance to develop this season behind Taulia Tagovailoa, who set Maryland’s single-season record for passing yards (3,860) as a redshirt sophomore. Tagovailoa also set program marks in completions (328), completion percentage (69.2) and passing touchdowns (26).

While leading Smyrna to a 10-3 record last season, Edge completed 67 percent of his passes for 2,990 yards, 27 touchdowns and two interceptions (per MaxPreps). A prospect profile at Rivals.com describes the 6-foot-1, 190-pounder as having a strong arm and good mobility but with some questions in terms of his decision-making under pressure.

In addition, Maryland announced Wednesday the signing of Liridon Mujezinovic, a 6-8, 282-pound offensive lineman from the Netherlands. Mujezinovic is joining the program from Garden City Community College in Kansas after starting to play football in 2019, according to Maryland.

Locksley’s coaching staff is being augmented with wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator Gunter Brewer, who had been coaching at Louisville in a similar role since 2019. Brewer coached the Philadelphia Eagles’ wide receivers in 2018 after six years as North Carolina’s co-offensive coordinator. Maryland also announced Wednesday that tight ends coach Mike Miller was promoted to co-offensive coordinator. The defensive coordinator position is in a state of uncertainty after Kevin Steele departed for Miami this week.

Transferring to Maryland is kicker Chad Ryland, who has a year of eligibility left after spending four seasons at Eastern Michigan, where he set program records for extra points and career points.
