UVa’s The Choice For Top LB Kiser

Gilman (Baltimore, MD) junior Micah Kiser has verbally committed to the University of Virginia. The 6’2″, 210-pound Kiser, a nationally recruited linebacker, announced his decision on his Facebook page earlier this evening.

“Committed to the University of Virginia…Thanks to everyone who helped me get to this point…Wahoowa!!!,” wrote Kiser, a former teammate of UVa rising sophomore receiver Darius Jennings .

Kiser’s decision comes less than two weeks after he and his family made an unofficial visit to Charlottesville. In the end, the talented prospect’s comfort level with the Virginia coaches and school atmosphere was the difference. He also considered scholarship offers from Auburn, Florida, Maryland, N.C. State, Oklahoma, Penn State, Rutgers, South Carolina, Stanford, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest.

“I liked the environment and the coaching staff. Coach London has a great message and I really felt comfortable with him and the coaches down there. The academics are also second to none in the country,” Kiser wrote in a Facebook message.
