Another commitment for UVA
The Virginia Cavaliers received their second verbal commitment this week, this one a versatile two-way player from Pennsylvania.
"Will committed to Virginia on Sunday when he was down there," said Haverford (Pa.) The Haverford School head coach Robert Allman of 6-foot-7, 275-pounder offensive tackle/defensive end Will Barker. "He really loved it down there and felt good about the coaches and the area. His recruiting coach was Bob Price and they hit it off well."

Barker was also being recruited by Michigan State, North Carolina, Penn State and others, but Virginia was his first offer.
"They were on him very early," said Allman. "They liked him a lot because he fits their offensive and defensive schemes. He's going to get a lot of offers between now and Signing Day, but he's pretty happy with his decision."
Allman things Virginia is getting a great prospect.
"He's so tall and has room to fill out," he said. "He's also a weight room guy -- he loves the weight room. He will get much, much bigger as he gets older."
