One of the fast rising athletes in the state of Virginia’s 2009 class is Deep Run’s (Glen Allen, VA) Antone Exum . At 6-0, 210 pounds, the Wildcats standout runs a sub-4.5 40-yard dash and has the versatility to play several positions on the next level. He played defensive back this past season but primarily served as the starting quarterback, totaling 1,518 yards (860 passing, 658 rushing) and scoring 25 touchdowns (13 rushing, 12 passing) on the year.
