Southern Duo Takes in Game

Contributing at wide receiver for UVa next season could be a couple of true freshmen from the same high school. Southern Durham standouts Maurice Covington and Brandon Woods , both of whom have committed to UVa, were on hand to see UVa and their depleted receiving corps defeat Syracuse 31-10.

“I talked to the coaches on the field,” Covington said. “I talked to Coach Al Groh, Coach Prince and Coach Garrett. They told me that next year I’ll be on the field with my team. I have a good opportunity to step in and do some good things. Every time they call they let me know that I’m real important to them and that they are counting on me.”

Woods echoed Covington’s sentiments and enjoyed his visit this past weekend.

“The crowd was nice,” Woods said. “They showed a lot of love. They always show a lot of love. I thought the team played real good. It looks like they are a young Florida State or Miami team. The coaches were nice. They were talking to me about coming in and playing. It’s a big recruiting class and I’d have a chance to come in and play next year.”
