Maryland football's already suited up Ray Lewis' brother, Keon Lattimore, and now the Terps' roster will include one of the Baltimore Ravens legend's sons.

Rayshad Lewis on Monday announced his transfer to Maryland via Twitter. The 5-foot-10, 165-pound receiver, who last season recorded 40 catches for 476 yards and two touchdowns as a true freshman at Utah State, will be eligible to play for the Terps in the 2018-2019 season.

The Terrapins hosted Lewis Monday, as first reported by 247Sports. He didn't expect to end his re-recruitment so suddenly. But surrounded by family, Lewis went with his gut.

"I actually didn’t know going into the visit that I was going to commit," Lewis said. "I just felt that during the visit, it was a really good fit for me. Obviously, they have great facilities, great coaches and great education and I had a level of comfort with them."

Lewis committed shortly after visiting with Durkin.

The son of the future Hall of Fame linebacker spent the bulk of his visit with head coach DJ Durkin. His interactions with the coaching staff made him comfortable.

"I can play a little A-back for them, slot receiver. I feel like I’m a good fit, I can make the play in the slot or come out on bubble screens. I thought it was a good fit both on and off the field," he said.

"I just felt that I had some schools after me but I wanted to find the best fit. I knew I kind of wanted to wrap it up quick and not let it drag too much, but I didn’t think this fast. I came with my whole family--mom, dad and siblings," he said. "When I talked with my dad, he was basically saying this is the best it’s going to get--this was the best opportunity for me. It was a great opportunity and sometimes in life, you’ve got to take advantage. I feel that I made the best choice for me."

Lattimore, Ray Lewis' half-brother, played running back for Maryland from 2004 to 2008 before a few brief NFL stints. Rayshad Lewis told head coach D.J. Durkin about his intentions over the phone.

"I actually had to call him because he had to go to a meeting, but he was really excited for me," he said.

"I’ll be on campus on May 30th. I’m excited to get back up here and get into it."

Lewis will have three years of eligibility remaining but will sit out the 2017 season due to NCAA transfer rules. The 5-foot-10, 165-pound wide receiver played in all 12 games as a true freshman and started in seven of them. Lewis ranked second in receptions and receiving yards last season at Utah State.

He didn't receive any scholarship offers from Power Five schools as a senior at Orlando's Bishop Moore High, which his famous father said at the time mimicked his recruitment.

"I lived that … you're too small, you can't do this. It's the size, right?"Ray Lewis told the Orlando Sentinel in 2016. "Nobody can judge his heart. Nobody can judge my heart. … that's what this kid has. That one thing that I call, 'It.' When you have an 'It,' you can transition no matter where you go.' "
