A 6'1", 190-pound two-way athlete out of Perry Hall High School in Baltimore, Costner is ranked the No. 31 athlete in the class of 2025 according to the 247Sports Composite, which also rates Costner as the No. 14 recruit in the state of Maryland and the No. 497 overall prospect in the country.
Costner took visits to Penn State, Pittsburgh, Wake Forest, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Virginia, and Indiana this spring and his recruitment seemed to come down to either Indiana or UVA. Ultimately, the Hoos held off the Hoosiers and secured the commitment from this coveted prospect.
Costner excels on both sides of the ball, producing as both a wide receiver and as a defensive back. Click the link below to watch some of Costner's highlights from his junior season, after which he garnered an All-State selection as a defensive back.
