Two More Join 2008 Class

Lovejoy (Atlanta, GA) defensive end Tory Allen was nervous heading into this morning's meeting with University of Virginia head coach Al Groh. The 6-6, 215-pound prospect had not been told beforehand that he had a scholarship offer, although he was assured by primary recruiter Anthony Poindexter that everything would work out. He left this morning's meeting with Coach Groh both happy and relieved. He also left as a member of Virginia's 2008 recruiting class.

UVa stayed in the Commonwealth for its second verbal commitment of the weekend, scoring a pledge from Great Bridge (Chesapeake, VA) standout lineman Michael Price. The 6-5, 260-pound prospect became Virginia's third verbal commitment from the state of Virginia, quickly accepting Groh's scholarship offer. Price made an official visit to UVa this weekend and met with Groh this morning, which is when he learned that he would have a scholarship.
