Virginia received a commitment earlier this week from one of the top tight end prospects in the country in Montgomery Bell Academy’s Tom Santi . He chose the Cavaliers over offers from Tennessee, LSU, Stanford, and Iowa.

He made official visits to Iowa and Virginia before committing to the Cavaliers. On his visit to Virginia, he was hosted by freshman center Jordy Lipsey and sophomore tight end Heath Miller.

Santi is rated a four-star prospect by both TheInsiders.com and a three-star by Rivals.com. He runs a 4.55 in the 40 yard dash, possessing great speed for his 6-5, 220 pound frame. An excellent student, Santi carries a 4.0 grade point average.

I caught up with Tom last night for some comments on his verbal commitment.
