As Matt Trogdon covered here on Streaking the Lawn earlier this week, UVA’s football recruiting efforts have bounced back after a disappointing spring. The 10 commitments in the month of June includes both of the highest rated prospects of the Mendenhall era, plus three diamond-in-the-rough European prospects.
That surge has led to big jumps in the national recruiting rankings for the Hoos. Going by 247 Composite puts the Virginia Cavaliers at 27th nationally and 6th in the ACC, before accounting for any rating on offensive lineman Zachary Teter. On Rivals, UVA sits 32nd overall and 8th in the conference, but none of the three Europeans has been rated yet.
