Payton Jones Commits to Maryland | College Basketball News

Payton Jones, the No. 37 recruit in the 2027 class, just committed to Maryland — a huge win for Coach Buzz Williams’ program. The 6-foot-2 combo guard from Texas chose Maryland over Cincinnati, Clemson, and Oklahoma State, citing strong relationships with the coaching staff and his fit within their system. After an official visit, he felt right at home — both on and off the court — praising his two-way game and work ethic. He’s bringing a relentless “dog” mentality, ready to grind every day. This is Maryland’s first commitment in the 2027 class under Williams — and fans are already excited to see how he impacts the Terrapins.
