Zion Elee is Maryland’s highest-upside edge commit
A five-star, top-3 national defender in the 2026 class, Zion Elee brings rare burst, length, and production to Maryland’s front, with verified high-school totals of 64 tackles and 13 sacks as a sophomore and 56 tackles, 28 TFLs, and 10 sacks as a junior. He stands out for his speed-to-power potential and disruptive range more than a polished pass-rush bag, which means the ceiling is huge even if the technical refinement is still coming. If you want a twitchy edge who can wreck plays early and grow into a centerpiece, he fits.
