Beginning this past December, when he received his first scholarship offer, Sherando (Stephens City, VA) sophomore linebacker Dylan Rivers has enjoyed steady success on the recruiting trail.

“Arizona offered me in December,” Rivers recalled. “[Sherando head coach Bill] Hall knew they were going to offer me. I wasn’t surprised, but my friends were all texting me. One of our coaches has a son who is a GA there. He showed them my tape and they liked me.”

Since the Wildcats came through, NC State, Old Dominion, Penn State, Virginia, Virginia Tech and West Virginia have offered as well.

“His stock keeps rising as fast as I can send out his film,” Hall said of Rivers. “As soon as I send [Rivers’ tape] out, most coaches are quick to get back. The question now is what Dylan and his family want out of the recruiting process. They have offers from all five power conferences except for the SEC, and a few SEC schools say they will get back soon. He has offers from local teams.”
