Defensive end Joshua Kaindoh, the No. 16-ranked prospect in the 2017 class, decommitted from Maryland on Monday. Kaindoh had been committed to the Terps since April and was the highest-ranked commitment since Stefon Diggs in the 2012 class.

The No. 2-ranked defensive end recently took a visit to Penn State for its game against Michigan State and promptly decommitted from Maryland after the official visit. That decision sparked rumors that the Nittany Lions might be the next landing spot for the ESPN 300 prospect, but his next commitment won't come until Jan. 1 at the Under Armour All-America game.

Kaindoh was touted as a big win for new coach DJ Durkin and his staff and was supposed to help land other pieces in the 2017 class. His decision to decommit leaves Maryland with 17 total commitments and two ESPN 300 commitments, defensive back Deon Jones and offensive lineman Marcus Minor.
