7-1, 224-pound Montverde Academy (FL) star Solomon Alabi made his official visit to the University of Virginia this past weekend and came away with a favorable impression of the ‘Hoos according to Montverde Academy Head Coach Kevin Sutton. Coach Sutton talks about Alabi’s experience and how good a chance the ‘Hoos have with his star player.

“It was his first time there, but he was awfully impressed with everything,” Sutton said. “He’s an impressionable young man. He got a great feel for the place. He enjoyed going to the football game. He enjoyed spending time with the players. I think he thought it was neat that he could reconnect with Tunji [Soroye] and [Solomon] Tat since they are all from Nigeria. He spoke with them in their native dialect. Solomon also met with the academic advisors and was impressed with the support system they have in place.”

Alabi had the opportunity to get to know UVa’s coaching staff better as well.
