Bullis School standout Quincy Wilson, already the youngest male U.S. Olympian in track and field history, has announced that he’s committing to the University of Maryland. The decision was shared Monday evening on SportsCenterNext, where Wilson confirmed that he will continue his academic and athletic career just a short drive from his Potomac campus.
Wilson, one of the most electrifying young athletes in the country, made national headlines this summer when he qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics at just 16 years old. The Bullis sprinter became the youngest American male to compete in Olympic track and field, helping anchor the U.S. 4x400m relay pool and solidifying his status as one of the sport’s fastest-rising stars.
At Bullis, Wilson has broken multiple national high school records and is widely considered one of the best young sprinters in the world. His performances in the 400m have drawn attention from every major collegiate program, but the Terps ultimately won out as Wilson chose to stay close to home.
Maryland has made a major push landing Wilson and the commitment is viewed as one of the program’s biggest recruiting victories in years.
