First Year linebacker Gladimir Paul could take on a familiar role in the Virginia defense

Already in the running for "Best name on the team", First Year outside linebacker Gladimir Paul looks to bring speed and passion to the Virginia defense. Paul selected UVa over offers from UConn and Temple, and signed on the dotted line last February.

The 6-2, 210 pound Paul looks the part of a typical Jon Tenua prospect. Throughout his coaching career across the ACC, Tenuta has taken underrated recruits and has turned them into NFL draft picks. While it may be a bit premature to make predictions 4-5 years down the line, there is no denying Paul's potential as an outside linebacker/rush end.
