Skinny: Volpe is a solid linebacker with good speed and excellent tackling form. He was invited to junior day at Penn State this spring and plans on camping at Virginia, Maryland and Penn State this summer. He’ll have to be impressive this summer to get the offers he wants due to missing time as a junior due to injury.

As a sophomore, Volpe registered 84 tackles with two sacks and 12 quarterback hurries but those numbers fell off last season. He’s not sure when he expects to make a decision and has followed Virginia since he was young.
