Virginia football recruiting: Class of 2017 recruit drops commitment to Cavaliers

The Virginia football program took a small hit on the recruiting trail this week when Woodberry Forrest tight end John Kirven decommitted from the 2017 class. Kirven, who originally committed to Mike London's staff, had been UVA's first commitment 2017. Despite his change of heart, he remains Caid Kirven's younger brother.

I am no longer committed to the University of Virginia, and my recruitment status is open.

Though Kirven gave no reasoning behind his decision, it appears that Virginia's new offensive scheme might not have been a great fit for him.
