The Latest on Brian Cushing

Brian Cushing remains one of the top targets for the University of Virginia. The Cavaliers, who are recruiting the versatile Cushing as a linebacker, paid a visit to Bergen Catholic recently to visit with the All-American recruit.

“The Virginia coaches came up to see him on Monday,” Brian’s father Frank Cushing said. “Coach D’Onofrio and Coach Golden both met with Brian.”

Virginia has made it clear through its recruitment that Brian is and has been one of their top targets. Cushing’s 6-3, 225-pound size combined with 4.5 40 speed and excellent athleticism make it easy to see why he is one of the top prospects in the country.

“I’d say Virginia is the school recruiting Brian more heavily than the other schools,” Mr. Cushing said. “I’ve gotten to know Mark, Al [Groh], Al’s son Mike and Al Golden through the process. There’s no school recruiting Brian harder than Virginia. I’ve kept every letter anyone’s ever sent.”
