Virginia DE schedules third official

Defensive end Jamar Jackson out of Richmond (Va.) Varina already had visits scheduled to Louisville and Boston College. The 6-foot-4, 225-pounder has set up his third official visit to another school in his top five.

"I set up a visit to North Carolina State the weekend they face Boston College, September 23rd," he stated. "They were a school in my top five and I really wanted to take a visit there to see what they have to offer. Currently I like all my favorites equally and plan to visit them all."

At this time, Jackson still hasn't scheduled trips to Clemson or Virginia Tech.

"I am planning to set them both up for sometime in mid-October," he said. "I don't know an exact date for either of them, but I know it'll be during that month. Once I take those visits I'll make a decision by the end of October."

The No. 29 weakside defensive end in the country is set to take his first visit this weekend to Louisville.

"I'm looking forward to the trip there," he said. "I don't know too much about them, but I want to see a whole lot while I'm there. In particular, I want a chance to check out the facilities and get to know more about their program and academics. I know they are a good school, but other than that I don't know a lot. As for the game, it should be a good one against Kentucky."
