New Virginia head football coach Bronco Mendenhall just pulled in his first five-star recruit as a Wahoo.
Sort of.
2016 Lawrence Central (Indianapolis IN) punter Nash Griffin announced on Tuesday that he has accepted a preferred walk-on position at UVa. A five-star punter per Kohl's Kicking, Griffin committed to UVa over a host of Division I offers, as well as walk-on opportunities from Michigan and Northwestern.
Mendenhall made a late push for the All-State kicker/punter in January, and thanks to some heavy persuasion by McDonalds All-American basketball signee Kyle Guy, the two Lawrence Central standouts will be reunited in college.
