3-Star Eckerson Has Excellent Visit

6-6, 270-pound offensive lineman Hutch Eckerson had a terrific official visit to Virginia this past weekend. The Lumberton (N.C.) star’s visit to Virginia was his first of four official visits, with Virginia Tech, South Carolina and N.C. State on the schedule right now. This past weekend, Eckerson really enjoyed spending time with the coaches and players and getting to know the campus environment.

Heading into the visit, finding out about the campus environment was a big objective for Eckerson. He discussed what he learned on the experience.

“The students were on their break so there really weren’t too many students there, but after hanging out with all the players and seeing what kind of guys they are – I was hanging out with Chris Long and Brennan Schmidt [on Saturday night] – we just had a really great time and I really, really enjoyed myself,” Eckerson said. “I had great meetings with Coach Groh. I met with him again [yesterday] morning and with Coach Prince. Aside from the game, I had an awesome time.”

The loss didn’t seem to affect Eckerson, who was impressed with the way the coaches and players handled themselves.
