"He's definitely interested in the ACC schools," Chatham head coach Matthew Foutz said. "But especially Virginia Tech and Virginia."
The 6-foot-4, 250-pounder has already camped at those schools and others in the ACC and, according to Foutz, "Everybody he sees, he gets mail from."
This past season, Sherman helped Chatham to a 6-4 record. He went on to be named offensive lineman of the year, first-team all-region, and honorable mention all-state as an offensive lineman and honorable mention all-region as a defensive end.
"He's a great kid and a good leader," Foutz said. "He played very well on both sides of the ball this year and he continues to improve.
"He's very athletic for a lineman."
Indeed he is. Besides being a football star, Sherman also plays basketball and runs track.
As for what position he'll play in college, Foutz wasn't sure.
"It just depends, different schools want him at different positions."
Foutz added that he wasn't sure what camps Sherman was looking to attend this spring and summer.
