4-star Jahnathan Lamothe commits to Maryland

Four-star Jahnathan Lamothe has committed to Maryland for the class of 2023, he tells On3.

The 6-foot-4 combo guard out of Baltimore (Md.) St. Frances Academy chose the Terrapins over Georgetown, Ohio State, LSU, UCF, Pittsburgh, and others.

Lamothe is ranked as the No. 105 overall prospect in the class of 2023, according to the On3 Consensus — a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Lamothe becomes Maryland’s first commitment to the 2023 class. In 2022, the Terrapins landed three transfers — Jahari Long (0.8 PPG) from Seton Hall, Jahmir Young (19.6 PPG) from Charlotte, and Donald Carey (13.5 PPG) from Georgetown. Also headed to College Park is Noah Batchelor, a three-star sniper from IMG (Fla.) Academy.

Lamothe on his commitment to Maryland

“Maryland showed me love from the beginning and I just felt a home feeling while on campus and hanging with the staff,” Lamothe said to On3. “I feel like it’s a staff that’s going to have my back through thick and thin. They are making an emphasis on bringing in hometown kids and I want to be the start of something great in College Park.”
