By: Chris Horne |

Two class of 2019 recruits announced their finalists this week while a third announced his list of top schools. All three rising seniors have Virginia on their respective lists.

We begin with Rivals and 247Sports 4-star offensive tackle Enokk Vimahi, who took to Twitter on July 4 to reveal his top 8 schools. He notes in the tweet that the “list is subject to change.” For now, though, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, UCLA, USC, Virginia, and Washington are the primary contenders for the 6’5”, 280-pound prospect’s signature.

Vimahi attends Hawaii power Kahuku High School, which produced two Virginia recruits in the 2018 Class – defensive lineman Samson Reed and offensive lineman Micah Mariteragi.

Of the schools on his list, we know Vimahi has taken unofficial visits to USC and Ole Miss.
