A new name on Virginia’s top target list is Rod Council , a 5-11, 175 pound cornerback prospect from West Charlotte High School in Charlotte, NC.

Council, who has nine scholarship offers, impressed the UVA coaches during the Cavaliers summer camp in late June. It was there that he displayed talent, confidence, and a winning attitude, prompting Virginia to offer a scholarship at the end of the camp.

“At UVA, Rod really showed that he could step up to the challenge,” said West Charlotte head coach Pete Gilchrist. “During the one-on-one drills, he was the first one to step up and take on the challenge of the most talented wide receivers. They did not have to ask him to volunteer. Rod will go against the best. He has a business-man type attitude on the field. He goes out and does what he’s supposed to without saying much.”

Earlier this year, Council impressed during the Nike combine in Blacksburg. He took home MVP honors, displaying his strength by bench pressing 185 pounds 16 times. Council is very fast as well, as he runs a 4.45 in the 40 yard dash and 4.31 in the 20-yard shuttle.
