For the first time since he verbally committed on May 2, University of Virginia football class of 2021 linebacker commitment West Weeks was back on Grounds for a visit. Last week’s experience wasn’t quite like the one he had in early February, when he could interact with coaches, but it was still a good one.

With a Recruiting Dead Period in place, face-to-face contact with Virginia football coaches was prohibited on this visit. The Oconee County (Watkinsville, GA) rising senior standout found another way to communicate with Cavalier staff.

“The coaches FaceTimed us a lot on the trip, just telling us places we should go check out and all that,” recalled Weeks.

“I really just wanted to get up and see the guys that I’m going to be with for the next few years and start developing those relationships,” Weeks said of why he wanted to make the visit during a Dead Period. He was joined in Charlottesville by fellow Cavalier class of 2021 commits Jesiah Davis, Malachi Fields, Michael Green, Hugh Laughlin, Langston Long, Josh McCarron, Aidan Ryan and Jonas Sanker.
