Speedster overcoming size
Brothers Adrian and Aaron Hull out of Bealeton (Va.) Liberty are one of two highly regarded pairs of twins (along with Ronnell and Donnell Brown) coming out of Virginia in 2006. While Adrian is small, he has the interest of a few D1A schools.
Adrian Hull is a 5-foot-7, 165-pound defensive back and wide receiver with 4.5 speed. So far Hull has seen some Division I interest.

"He's going to have an uphill fight, there's no question he'll go to school for free though," said head coach Tom Buzzo. "But right now everyone is asking for film on him."
This season Hull helped Liberty to a 10-1 record and a berth in the playoffs. He went on to post 35 tackles, six pass breakups, 21 punt returns for 400 yards and two touchdowns.
Hull was also awarded first team all-district, all-region and honorable mention all-state.
"He's a good athlete who has phenomenal hips," he said. "Next year he's going to be our go-to receiver, but we're also going to play him at running back too and he'll get the football in his hands after he's been waiting to start at that position for years."
Are there any other positions he may play in college?
"Someone will probably take a chance on him as a slot receiver and return specialist, but if he performs as a running back he could do that too."
The real question is does Adrian want to play together with his twin brother in college or meet up with their other brother Mike at Pittsburgh?
"I don't know, they've mentioned playing at Pittsburgh," Buzzo said. "But I haven't heard a lot about it in a while. I think it depends on what kind of response they see this spring."
No official word has been given on what camps the brothers will attend this summer.
Virginia Tech, Virginia, Indiana and Syracuse are other schools keeping an eye on Hull.
