Recruiting starts up for Virginia OT
Offensive tackle Michael Justice out of Springfield (Va.) West Springfield is gaining interest. The 6-foot-7, 275-pounder is receiving letters from colleges across the country already.
"I'm getting letters from Maryland and I've called one of their coaches," he said. "I've gotten a handwritten letter from UCLA and a few others.

"I plan to go up to Maryland to see some practices once they start up next month."
With interest beginning to take shape, does Justice like anyone?
"My sister goes to Florida and that'd be my dream school if I could go anywhere it'd definitely be there," he said. "I also have family that went to Wake Forest and Clemson.
"Mostly, I don't care about college size. I need to have good academics. I have a 3.3 GPA and my dad stresses about being a student-athlete."
The Commonwealth lineman helped his team to the regional semifinals last season.
"We were the No. 2 ranked offense in the state of Virginia," he said. "I think I did well.
"I played hard and have worked on my footwork. I think I have good footwork and love to play and hit.
"I still want to improve on my foot speed and keep hitting the weights to always get better."
