Class of 2026 four-star cornerback Hakim Satterwhite will stay in the DMV area to play his college football, as he committed to Maryland on Sunday.
He is coming off of an official visit with the Terrapins this weekend (June 20 through June 22).
Satterwhite transferred to Saint Frances Academy in Baltimore for his senior season, after previously playing at St. John’s College High School in Washington, D.C.
Back in February, Satterwhite released a top-10 of Maryland, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Michigan, Miami (FL.), Missouri, Notre Dame, Penn State, Syracuse and West Virginia. As his recruitment progressed, however, the Terps ultimately won out for Satterwhite.
At Maryland, Satterwhite will play under head coach Mike Locksley, defensive/coordinator/outside linebackers coach Ted Monachino, co-defensive coordinator/associate head coach for defense/cornerbacks Aazaar Abdul-Rahim and the rest of the staff.
The 6-foot-2, 183-pound Satterwhite ranks as the No. 7 prospect in the state of Maryland and the No. 34 cornerback in the 2026 cycle.
In addition to the schools mentioned above, Satterwhite received scholarships Auburn, Boston College, Connecticut, Duke, Florida State, Indiana, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M, UCF, Virginia Tech, Wisconsin and others. He collected 30 scholarship offers in total.
Traits that stand out in Satterwhite’s game include his size, physicality, ball skills, ability to blitz from the corner and willingness to come up in run support.
Satterwhite joins several of his Saint Frances teammates in Maryland’s 2026 class, as five-star EDGE Zion Elee, three-star cornerback Khmari Bing and three-star tight end Damon Hall Jr. are all currently pledged to the Terrapins.
With Satterwhite’s commitment, Maryland’s 2026 class now includes seven total prospects.
