Virginia’s 2010 football recruiting class increased by one more this morning, when Collegiate (Richmond, VA) star Jake McGee pledged to Mike London’s Cavaliers. The 6-5, 210-pound senior, a VIS first-team all-state quarterback/defensive back, originally committed to Richmond.

“I committed this morning,” McGee wrote via e-mail. He becomes Virginia’s 15th commitment of the 2010 class.

A two-sport standout at Collegiate, McGee led the Cougars to VIS Division 1 state titles in football each of the past two seasons.
