Chris Gould , a 6-0, 190 pound place kicker/punter from Central Mountain High School in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, has committed to Virginia. He is the eleventh commitment for the 2004 recruiting class.

“I have committed to Virginia,” said Gould (pronounced gold, as in the color). “I like UVA’s academics and the fact that they have a coach in Coach Brown who coaches only special teams. He works with the kickers and helps them. They have it all. The campus is beautiful. It’s a great place to spend my next four years.”

Gould made an official visit last weekend to Virginia, which helped him make his decision. He was hosted by Pennsylvania native and freshman tight end Jon Stupar.

“It was my first ever official visit,” said Gould. “It was a great visit. At the FSU game, the atmosphere was crazy. The fans were nuts the entire game. It was also a great experience meeting the players. I was hosted by Jon Stupar, and the high school he went to (State College) is actually our arch-rival. The whole visit was incredible.”
