Commitment! Virginia football lands Florida running back LaDerrien Wilson

Though he did not commit on his official visit last week, many close to the Virginia football program felt that it was only a matter of time before Florida running back LaDerrien Wilson pulled the trigger.

As it turned out, the wait only lasted eight days.

On Sunday night, the three-star running back provided the good news many were waiting for, and committed to the Orange and Blue.

Wilson selected UVa over offers from in-state schools, Florida State, Miami, and UCF, along with Duke, Iowa State, and several other FBS programs. The 5-10, 205-pound running back is a consensus three-star recruit across the many online services.
