UVa to Host PA Tailback

Harrisburg High School (PA) star Mikell Simpson , a versatile 6-1, 185-pound tailback recruit who is ranked as a 4-star prospect, travels to Charlottesville this weekend for an official visit. This will be the third time that Simpson will have been on UVa’s campus.

“I’m going to UVa this weekend,” Simpson said. “I just have to call Coach [Bob] Price to make sure of my flight times. They’re going to have a chance to show me more of the campus than when I made my last 2 visits there. I went for a basketball game as a junior and then I went to a junior day this summer. I want to see more of the campus and the gameday atmosphere.”

Simpson made an official visit last weekend to Michigan State. It was his first official visit experience…what did he think of it?

“It was a pretty good place,” Simpson said of Michigan State. “I liked the players. They are real good guys. They showed me a lot of stuff that goes on and answered any questions they had for me. One of the most exciting things about the trip was when the players walked from the hotel to the stadium. The fans lined up and cheered them the whole way, and that was exciting for me.”
