Don't know if it's the same one LU is using for it's bios but it has:

Grant at 33
Woodrum at 36
Pingley at 71
Jenkins at 86
Kirby at 100
Thanks. I’m sure the SIDs are “cherry-picking” theirs. Which is fine. I’d do the same thing.

Considering the number of solid football programs in Virginia, I'll take 5 of the top 100, with several additions still possible.

Even at 33, Grant is an impressive get for Coach Rocco.

so Erickson is the only one left from our verbal list. Any others will be "surprises".

Only 3 FCS schools show up on that list - ODU, UR, LU. UR has 6, ODU 5, LU 5. Grant is #33 and Woodrum is #36. Next highest to go to an FCS school is to ODU at #57.

So would I. I'm interested to see how VTech uses his abilities. One of the positives for Demetri is if it doesn't work out in Blacksburg, I'm sure Liberty would welcome him back.

This is a really, really good looking recruit class. Rocco and his staff are doing a fine job bringing kids to Liberty.

I love seeing 3 O-linemen. Our offense skill people will have a much easier time transitioning in 2012 when Mike and Chris are gone if they have a great line.

Looking at Grant's bio, it is a bit confusing, but I believe the #4 state ranking was for wrestling (heavyweight).

Coach Castro would be licking his chops, but I honestly doubt that Jones will be allowed to compete as a multi-sport athlete because of his high stock in football.

dont know how i missed this commitment :BS

scout article
Gary Mulkins stands 6’7” and weighs 280 pounds. He is a prototypical left tackle and that is exactly where he will play for Liberty after giving his verbal commitment recently.
“I chose Liberty,” said Mulkins. “I really like the people there. It is a nice school and I think the coaches can really help me get where I want to be.”

Mulkins chose Liberty over East Carolina, Towson and Delaware.

Who in this class is likely to get a redshirt? I feel like Woodrum will just because there is no playing time for him at all next year that I can see and its always better to let a QB get as many snaps as possible in practice..so who else will problly get one?

* Grant Jones (OL, 6-5, 305, Lynchburg, Va./LCA)
The state’s No. 33 overall recruit according to the Roanoke Times’ rankings. First-team all-state and all-conference as a senior. Titan Trophy winner in 2010. Chose Liberty over Duke, Stanford, Wake Forest, Virginia, East Carolina, Boston College and UCLA.
I freaking love Grant.

First-team all-state and all-conference as a senior linebacker. Finished senior year with 121 tackles, an interception and two forced fumbles.
LANG: is that total over the career or just his senior yr?
