Rising senior Sean Obi, who spent the last three seasons at Duke, will transfer to Maryland and be eligible for the 2017-18 season, the Terps announced April 20.
Obi, a power forward, will graduate from Duke in May and enroll in graduate school at Maryland in June, per the Terps.
"I am very appreciative to have the opportunity to attend the University of Maryland," Obi said in a news release. "I want to thank Coach [Mark] Turgeon and the staff.. I immediately created a unique bond with the coaches during my visit. Maryland is a place where I am confident I can make a major impact.
"The campus is also in very close proximity to where my family lives, and they'll be able to come see me play. Maryland is a great university with outstanding tradition, and I am very excited to be a part of it. I am looking forward to playing for Coach Turgeon and doing something special with a great group of guys next year.
