Dylan Gooden, a senior at Wilde Lake High School in Maryland, on Wednesday officially signed his NCAA Letter of Intent to play football at the University of Maryland beginning next school year.
Dylan is a 6-foot-4 edge rusher whom ESPN rated as a four-star recruit and the 28th-ranked defensive end in the country. The son of baseball royalty chose Maryland over schools such as Penn State and Rutgers.
Dylan also is a high school basketball star, but Dwight believes he is best at football. Dwight couldn’t get his son to see baseball the way he does. “He played baseball, said baseball was boring, which I don’t understand,” said Gooden, the former Mets and Yankees star and Cy Young winner. Gooden raved about his son but did not want to say he would be a future NFL player. He has told Dylan that “under 1 percent” of college players graduate to the pros.
