Recruiting News | |||||
This Week In Recruiting With Chris Horne Bayside (Virginia Beach, VA) rising senior running back Taquan "Smoke" Mizzell is set to announce his college choice. Mizzell's press conference will take place on Tuesday, Aug. 21, at 2 p.m. at Bayside. TheSabre.com plans to be on hand for coverage, so stay tuned. UVa appears to be in great shape with the 5'10", 185-pound tailback, who is also considering North Carolina and West Virginia. He boasted more than 20 major FBS offers before narrowing the field to these three schools. In case you missed it, Liberty (Bealeton, VA) defensive end Wyatt Teller verbally committed to Virginia Tech over Virginia last Friday. The 6'5", 272-pound rising senior was thought to be a UVa lean for most of the spring and summer, but in the end his choice was his childhood favorite Hokies. While Teller was committing to Tech last Friday, Virginia was hosting another of its top remaining class of 2013 targets, Tabor Academy (Marion, MA) defensive tackle Tevin Montgomery. EDGE subscribers can read the latest (linked below) on the 6'5", 290-pound Montgomery, who reflects on his time in Charlottesville and discusses where he may go from here in terms of making his college choice. Virginia is one of five finalists for Montgomery, who is also considering Boston College, Connecticut, Rutgers and Vanderbilt. UVa fans will be able to watch four future Hoos in action this week. On Friday, Aug. 24, Good Counsel (Olney, MD) travels to Las Vegas to take on Bishop Gorman. The game is at 9 p.m. ET and will be televised by ESPN2. Three UVa recruits - QB Brendan Marshall, WR Andre Levrone Jr. and CB Kirk Garner - will start for Good Counsel. On Saturday, Aug. 25, at 3:30 p.m., Fork Union Military Academy's (VA) prep squad will meet Hermitage (Richmond, VA). FUMA features rising senior safety/athlete Malcolm Cook, who pledged to the Cavaliers this summer. This game will be televised on ESPNU. Also this week, I plan on checking in with UVa rising senior linebacker commitment LaChaston Smith, UVa rising senior cornerback commitment Hipolito Corporan and UVa basketball recruiting target London Perrantes.

SabreMail History | |||||
Issue No. 53 - September 13, 2002
Williams Commits to the Cavs Deyon Williams, a 6-3, 185-pound wide receiver prospect from Suitland High School in District Heights, Maryland, surprised many, including his coach, by verbally committing to Virginia early this week. "Two weeks ago, I was under the impression that he was going to Penn State," said Suitland Head Coach Nick Lynch. "But he just felt comfortable with the coach recruiting him, Ron Prince. He is satisfied with getting a chance to play early. The coaches told him they are young and would not hesitate to play him. "Also, another factor is that Virginia is close to his parents. They can see him play." With Billy McMullen a senior and Michael McGrew and Ryan Sawyer juniors, there is certainly a need for several standout wide receiver prospects in this year's recruiting class. A star track athlete, Williams consistently runs a 4.4 in the 40, offering the big play potential college coaches are looking for. In addition to speed and athleticism, he will bring a tremendous sense of leadership to the Cavalier program. Read SabreMail No. 53 here. |
