The young track phenom Quincy Wilson has picked his collegiate home.
And in what is at least a bit of a shocker in the track world, he's staying home.
Wilson committed Monday night to sprint at Maryland.
He chose the Terrapins over Texas A&M, South Carolina, USC and UCLA.
Wilson has shone in high school at The Bullis School nearby and will now run for the Terps.

The Olympic gold medalist and 4X @WashPostHS All-Met Athlete of the Year chose to stay home and be a Terp over Texas A&M, South Carolina, USC and UCLA.
He had a tough break at the U.S. Championships this year to miss the world meet, but he's already one of the fastest runners in the world. At age 17 earlier this year, Wilson ran a 44.10-second 400-meter dash, the third-fastest time in the world this year.
Wilson is the fastest-ever American high schooler in both the indoor and outdoor 400.
He qualified for the men's 4x400-meter relay pool for the 2024 Summer Olympics, making him the youngest American track and field male athlete in Olympic history.
Wilson just ran in the heats at the Olympics, and that team went on to win gold. That meant Wilson was the youngest track and field Olympic gold medalist ever.
So he's going to Maryland already with an Olympic gold medal.
The Terps hope there's a lot more sprint glory to come for Wilson.
