Kevin Kalonji got his first look at Maryland a few months after he arrived in the United States late in 2018, and he was a school he always had in his mind. The path for the Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College standout was lengthy and filled with obstacles, but he will land at Maryland this summer after committing to the Terps on Sunday as a member of the 2023 class. The 6-foot-6, 330-pound Kalonji is the No. 11 offensive tackle in 247Sports' junior college rankings. "I have decided to pursue my education and play football at the University of Maryland," Kalonji said.
