| 1. |
Olu Hall |
6-4/240/4.80 |
DE |
Robinson HS |
| |
 |
An athletic defensive end, Hall is a proven
commodity at the position, and could quickly rise at the position
nationally. He shows excellent ability to stand his ground while reading
and reacting to what is going on behind the ball, then moving in to strike
like a ton of bricks.

| |
| 2. |
Eddie Royal |
5-10/170/4.34 |
WR |
Westfield HS |
| |
 |
One award sticks out when referring to Eddie
Royal, and that is 2003 Blacksburg Nike Camp MVP. One word sticks out
when referring to him as well, and that is speed. A blazing runner,
Royal can take any reception for a touchdown, which scares most teams into
playing more of a prevent defense, which only helps teammate Glennon's
completion rate. |
| |
| 3. |
Andrew Bowman |
6-1/220/4.60 |
LB |
Hermitage HS |
| |
 |
Nearly the prototypical middle linebacker,
Bowman knows how to fill holes and flow freely from sideline. He is a
hard-nosed player at his position, and forces teams to attempt to run away
from him, though usually to no avail. Bowman had two vicious hits last
season in which he knocked off an opposing player's helmet.
|
|
| 4. |
Kent Hicks |
6-2/206/4.5 |
S |
Culpepper HS |
| |
 |
A very big safety currently, Hicks could easily
grow into a linebacker at the collegiate level. Hicks has a great
frame, speed, tenacity, and a nose for the ball necessary to be a star at
the next level. The 6-foot-2, 206 pounder had a 4.13 pro shuttle and a
34.6 inch vertical while pushing the offensive players to the side until
told to move back by the coaches in drills at the Virginia Tech Nike Camp. |
|
| 5. |
Jerod Mayo |
6-2/210/4.65 |
LB |
Kecoughtan HS |
| |
 |
Speed at the linebacker position is what teams throughout the region want,
and a weakside linebacker with instincts and great form come in the package
of Jerod Mayo. He has the frame to put on twenty more pounds and play any
of the three or four linebacker positions depending on the system. |
| |
| 6. |
Chris Long |
6-4/250 |
DT |
St.
Anne's HS |
| |
A very early commit for Virginia, the son of NFL
Hall of Fame Howie Long, Chris is a savvy player for his size. He has a
great frame, and could be an impact for Virginia early in his career with
the team as a defensive end in their 3-4 scheme. |
|
| 7. |
Sean Glennon |
6-3/180/4.75 |
QB |
Westfield HS |
| |
 |
Taking care of the ball is obviously important
to Sean Glennon as he meticulously, though swiftly, checks down through his
reads for the open man. Glennon put up over 1,800 yards on 63% completion
rate with 21 touchdowns and just four interceptions. Even more staggering
is how he has thrown seven total interceptions in his career.
|
| |
| 8. |
Clint Sintim |
6-3/240/4.80 |
DE |
Gar-Field HS |
| |
The recruitment for Sintim has surprised him as
he thinks that he had an average year last year, but that just shows how
little of the surface has been scratched with Sintim. With seven sacks
and 40 tackles as a junior, perhaps it was Sintim showing his 350 pound
bench or 480 pound squat. Whatever it is, Sintim has nearly
double-digit offers at this point. |
|
| 9. |
Jon Kirchner |
6-5/260/4.90 |
DE |
Rockbridge County HS |
| |
 |
One word to describe Jon Kirchner would be
hands. With extremely strong hands, Kirchner has play after play in which
he brings players down with just one hand on a jersey. He also has good
athletic ability for his size; enough such that he could play offensive
line, defensive tackle, or defensive end in the right scheme.
|
|
| 10. |
Clarence Vaughn |
6-2/190/4.40 |
WR |
Robinson HS |
| |
 |
As the third option in a running offense, Vaughn
did not have much of an opportunity to brandish his offensive skills.
Perhaps the two best players at a recent All-Star game were the first and
second options in the Robinson offense, and Vaughn has a big chance to step
up this season. Vaughn has a great frame for a receiver, soft hands,
and explodes off the ball well. He ran a 4.4 40 at a recent camp, but
more schools want to see him run the 40 in front of them. |
