The University of Maryland football program got its first win of 2012 seven months earlier than expected Friday night as Our Lady of Good Counsel wide receiver Stefon Diggs announced his decision to play for the Terps in the fall.
“I feel good about my decision, I feel 100 percent sure,” Diggs said before donning a Maryland cap in front of an enthusiastic overflow crowd at Looney’s Pub in College Park, where he made the announcement. “I want to win championships, I want to win bowl games, and where’s a better place to do it than your city.”
