Lowry Talks About Decision

Matt Lowry’s first trip to the University of Virginia came last November, when he made an unofficial visit for the Virginia Tech game. The experience made a lasting impression and led to his eventual commitment this past weekend.

“I liked Virginia from the first time I went there,” Lowry said. “It was Thanksgiving for the game against Virginia Tech. I loved it down there. I really liked the coaches and I love how the team was. The football field was awesome and the campus had a real nice layout. I have been to other colleges since then, and I always found myself comparing them to Virginia. Virginia’s a place I know I could call home in a couple of years.”

Lowry made unofficial visits to Maryland, Syracuse, and Notre Dame as well. He had an official offer on the table from Syracuse and was receiving heavy interest from several Big Ten powers including Penn State, Iowa, Michigan, and Michigan State.

Before heading down for the Spring game this past Saturday, Lowry was thinking seriously about making a commitment. He decided to follow through and gave his verbal commitment to primary recruiter Bob Price following the game.
