Travis Hughes made his fourth official visit this past weekend, when he traveled to the University of Virginia. Virginia, which defeated Miami on Saturday, impressed the Kempsville (Virginia Beach, VA) star linebacker/running back, who figures to have a tough decision to make in the coming months.

Travis’ father, Tony, discussed what caught his son’s attention this past weekend.

“Mike London has a lot of upside,” he said. “He is a players coach. Travis talked to the players already on board the team there, and they really said to us that comparing the previous staff with this one is like night and day. UVa is a team to be reckoned with. Another big thing that was impressive was all the recruits there on Saturday. Curtis Grant is one. Demetrious Nicholson. Daquan Romero, who has already committed to UNC. They are big-time recruits. There was a guy from Georgia and a guy from Texas. A whole lot of recruits are buying into the program. The coaches did a good job on the visit of laying things down.”

Asked for his opinion of UVa following the weekend, Tony answered, “I like the academic thing with Virginia. I like how he would fit with the academia there. I love Coach London as a head coach. He is a players coach. He has got a lot of support in trying to build the program.”
