Recruits Impressed with Saturday’s Win

Saturday’s big victory over Florida State certainly energized the fans and the program, but it also impressed top recruits that were in attendance. TheSabre.com caught up with several top targets, including 4-star defensive tackle Jared Odrick and outstanding athlete Brent Vinson . to get their impressions of the win and updates on their recruitment.

Jared Odrick , a 6-5, 300-pound prospect out of Lebanon (PA), was in attendance for another upset just a week before when Penn State beat Ohio State. Saturday was key for a lot of reasons, but certainly key in the recruitment of Odrick. The experience at Penn State was reportedly extremely impressive.

“It was really something else,” Odrick said of Saturday’s game. “I had a great opportunity to see two upsets recently in Penn State/Ohio State and now Virginia/FSU. [The Virginia game] was a great atmosphere. The fans were great. I liked the way Coach Belin and Coach Golden used the d-linemen. It was great to see Chris Long , who is someone I think I can call a friend, do well. I felt a part of the win.”

A skeptic initially of his position in UVa’s 3-4 defense, Odrick seemed very impressed with the scheme following the game.
