Class of 2015 recruiting is well under way. The Virginia football coaches continue to evaluate players and extend new offers, but as of this writing the staff has extended scholarship offers to 158 rising seniors, a number compiled from what we have confirmed directly plus those offers reported by 247Sports.com and Rivals.com.

Mississippi offensive lineman Ryan Gibson and South Carolina dual-threat quarterback Kelly Bryant are two of most recent rising seniors offered by Virginia. The Gibson offer ups the number of class of 2015 offensive line prospects offered by the Cavaliers to 36, while Bryant is the seventh quarterback prospect offered by the Hoos. The rest of the scholarship offer breakdown on offense is as follows…

– Wide Receivers: 18
– Running Backs: 10
– Tight Ends: 9
