Virginia landed their 10th commitment for the 2013 class Tuesday, when Jack English jumped on board. English, a Defensive End and Tight End that plays at St. Christopher's in Richmond, chose Virginia over his only other offer, Virginia Tech. English is a prospect on the rise, and he earned his Virginia offer just two days before his commitment, at Mike London's Football Camp in Charlottesville. English is currently rated 2-stars by 247sports, and is not yet ranked by Rivals, but those two assessments could change if English continues to impress on the summer camp circuit.
English is a big boy. At 6'6'' 250, the Richmond native certainly doesn't need to grow much more. It is not yet known whether English will play Tight End or Defensive End for the Cavaliers, but he has excelled at both positions in High School thus far.
With English's commitment to Virginia, that brings the 2013 class to 10 members. With a class that was expecting about 20 signees in February, English's commitment represents the halfway point for space remaining in the cycle. This could create a domino effect of sorts, as several prospects will want to make sure they can commit to Virginia while there is still room for them. It's too early to tell if this is going to happen, but there is almost always one big run on commitments every summer.
We will have more on Jack English and his pledge to the Cavaliers in the coming days. Stay tuned to Streaking the Lawn for all the latest Virginia recruiting news. Virginia's entire 2013 class can be viewed by hitting the jump below.
