Another top national prospect officially visiting Virginia last weekend was Abraham Clark (Roselle, NJ) wide receiver Jesse Holley . For both Holley and the Cavaliers, the weekend was a success.

“It went great,” said Holley, who was hosted by fellow New Jersey native Lance Evans, Alvin Pearman, and Tony Franklin. “I spoke to all the players and coaches. It really went great. Virginia is right up there [on my list].”
