The Entire 2012 Recruiting Class

Top 5 Virginia Recruits To Care About
Player writeups by Scout.com

1. LB Eli Harold
6-3, 230, Scout.com 1st ranked, five-star outside linebacker. Harold is one of the best big athletes in the country playing both wide receiver and defensive end. He has an incredible burst off the ball and the ideal frame to play outside linebacker on the next level. He has a good wingspan and great closing speed. Athletic enough that he could be a wide receiver in college, but the build and frame that's ideal for the linebacker position. Just needs more experience and stick with 1 position.

2. QB Greyson Lambert
6-5, 195, Scout.com 9th ranked, four-star quarterback. Lambert can throw the football. He has the size to comfortably survey the field over the linemen, he has shown great field vision, and his arm strength speaks for itself. His arm and size are his biggest strengths, but he really needs to work on his footwork and mobility. He is always going to be a drop-back passer, but his improving in those areas will allow him to buy time for his receivers and help with his consistency.

3. LB Kwontie Moore
6-1, 242, Scout.com 12th ranked, four-star middle linebacker.

4. DE Michael Moore
6-4, 255, Scout.com 30th ranked, four-star defensive end.

5. RB Kye Morgan
5-11, 180, Scout.com 48th ranked, four-star running back

The 2012 Class Was Heavy On... Receivers. The last few classes have revolved around the offense, and the defensive front seven is getting the strongest talent this year, but the Cavaliers are looking to keep bringing in good targets. Last year, head coach Mike London came up with a strength-in-numbers class of receivers, and he’s doing it again with at least five prospects coming in. While the passing game needs more attention, London likes the running game and he’s getting a good one in Kye Morgan.

Team Concerns For 2012: The defensive line has to find a disruptive force to fill in for Cam Johnson on the end, but the biggest problem is a secondary that loses three starters including shutdown corner Chase Minnifield. Considering the Cavs played so many close games, solidifying the kicking game is a must with P Jimmy Howell and PK Robert Randolph both gone.

Looking Ahead To The 2012 Season: The excitement is building under Mike London with a breakthrough season and a few good recruiting classes to work around. QB Michael Rocco and RB Perry Jones provide the offensive leadership working behind a terrific line that gets three starters back. WR Kris Burrd is done, but the other top receivers and TE Colter Phillips return. The defense has some retooling to do up front, and three starters are gone in the secondary, but unlike previous seasons, the depth should shine through with several good young players waiting in the wings. The kicking game wasn’t special, but it still needs to find replacements for PK Robert Randolph and P Jimmy Howell.

The 2011 Class Is Heavy On … Wide receivers. Head coach Mike London brought in a really, really nice overall class highlighted by a terrific get in corner Demetrious Nicholson and a big-time Signing Day coup in corner Dominique Terrell. The defensive line got plenty of bodies with seven linemen brought in, and three nice offensive tackles will help the line. The key to the class was the haul of receivers with six prospects brought in including Brandon Phelps, Darius Jennings, and Clifton Richardson, three fast, talented targets who might get a long look for instant playing time.

2010 CFN Recruiting Ranking: 68. That Class Was Heavy On ... Quarterbacks. Virginia is still a factory for top-shelf offensive linemen with Morgan Moses a massive tackle who signed last year but sat out a year, and Conner Davis an interesting prospect, but new head coach Mike London was more in needs of upgrading the offense. Four quarterbacks were signed led by Mike Rocco and Michael Strauss, but there weren't any wide receiver prospects brought in.

2009 CFN Recruiting Ranking: 49. That Class Was Heavy On ... offensive tackles. After losing Branden Albert and Eugene Monroe to the NFL in successive seasons, the Cavaliers have bolstered their offensive line with a whopping six tackles standing 6-5 or taller. Like the last three great Virginia linemen, including D’Brickashaw Ferguson, the school traveled north to get Oday Aboushi, a 305-pounder with considerable upside and nasty demeanor. Landing four-star mountain Morgan Moses was the upset of this group.

Chick-fil-A Bowl
Auburn 43 … Virginia 24
- CFN Thoughts on the Chick-fil-A

Auburn: The Tigers ran for 273 yards to 123. … Barrett Trotter completed 11-of-18 passes for 175 yards and a score, and Kiehl Frazier ran 16 times for 55 yards and two touchdowns. … Onterio McCalebb ran ten times for 109 yards and a score, and caught two passes for 53 yards and a touchdown. … Emory Blake caught six passes for 108 yards. … Neiko Thorpe led the team with eight tackles with a broken up pass.

Virginia: The Cavaliers converted 8-of-13 third down chances. … Michael Rocco completed 26-of-41 passes for 312 yards and two scores with a pick. … Kevin Parks ran 11 times for 48 yards and a score. … Perry Jones ran eight times for 32 yards and led the team with seven catches for 90 yards. … Kris Burd caught six passes for 103 yards and two scores. … Aaron Taliaferro led the team with nine tackles with a broken up pass and a tackle for loss.

(AP) ATLANTA -- Onterio McCalebb was motivated by speculation that the suspension of star running back Mike Dyer could take the punch out of Auburn's running game.

McCalebb had an answer.

McCalebb scored two touchdowns and Auburn overcame the loss of quarterback Clint Moseley to set a season scoring high and beat Virginia 43-24 in the Chick-fil-A Bowl on Saturday night.

"It feels very awesome," McCalebb said.

"A lot of people have been saying we couldn't do it. I just let them talk," he said.

McCalebb, who had 109 yards rushing, scored on a 3-yard run and 25-yard catch while starting for Dyer, who was suspended for an undisclosed rules violation. Tre Mason added 64 yards rushing, including a 22-yard scoring run.

Auburn also had to regroup after Moseley left with an ankle injury in the first quarter.

Barrett Trotter passed for 175 yards and a touchdown while sharing time with Kiehl Frazier, who ran for two touchdowns.

The offensive outburst came in Auburn's last game with offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, who has been hired as the Arkansas State coach.

"This was a breakout game for next season," said Auburn receiver Quan Bray. "What you saw here is the future of Auburn football."

Auburn (8-5) ran for 273 yards.

"I knew that we needed to run the ball well today as a team, and we knew we had to do that to get the win," McCalebb said.

The Tigers also had big plays on special teams, blocking two punts and recovering an onside kick.

"We couldn't afford to give up the field position like we did and hang in with them," said Virginia coach Mike London.

Kris Burd caught two touchdown passes for Virginia (8-5), which held out two top defensive players, cornerback Chase Minnifield and linebacker Steve Greer, with knee injuries. Greer was in uniform but didn't play.

London said he didn't want to risk more serious injuries Minnifield and Greer.

"On that surface when you have to cut and you have a knee injury, I'm not looking for heroes," London said.

"I don't want to risk further injury that would really cause a young man some harm."

One year after winning the national championship -- and losing Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton -- Auburn absorbed lopsided losses to LSU, Georgia and Alabama in the second half of the regular season. After the loss to Alabama, defensive coordinator Ted Roof left for the same post at Central Florida.

While Malzahn stayed with Auburn for the bowl game, coach Gene Chizik took control of the defense.

"It was really important to me to get a win tonight," Malzahn said.

Moseley limped off the field with an injured right ankle after the Tigers' second possession. He did not return.

Trotter, a junior, started the first seven games before losing his job to Moseley. He made a triumphant return to prominence against Virginia, completing 11 of 18 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown.

"This guy is a man's man," said Chizik of Trotter, adding the junior "never pouted, never said anything negative" after losing his starting job.

Frazier, a freshman, had 16 carries for 55 yards and two touchdowns.

While others speculated that the loss of Dyer, an All-SEC selection, could be devastating to Auburn, McCalebb was eager to show he could be more than a change-of-pace back.

McCalebb set up his touchdown run with a 60-yard run.

Burd's 27-yard catch from Michael Rocco midway through the first quarter gave Virginia, wearing orange helmets for the first time since 1978, a 7-0 lead.

Then Auburn's special teams made the first of two momentum-changing plays in the half.

Freshman receiver Garrett Harper blocked a punt by Virginia's Jimmy Howell to give the Tigers possession at the Cavaliers' 15. Following a 12-yard run by McCalebb, Frazier scored from the 3.

Back-to-back unnecessary roughness penalties against Auburn's defense helped set up Burd's second touchdown catch from 35 yards for a 14-7 lead.

On the first play of Auburn's next possession, McCalebb broke free for a 60-yard run to the Virginia 25. He capped the drive with a 3-yard scoring run.

Chizik then called for an onside try and Cody Parkey recovered his own kick. After Trotter's 50-yard pass to Emory Blake, Frazier scored from the 1.

Auburn's Angelo Blackson blocked Howell's punt through the end zone for a safety in the third quarter. Virginia's only second-half points came on a 1-yard touchdown by Kevin Parks in the third quarter.

Parkey kicked field goals of 45 and 37 yards.

Rocco completed 26 of 41 passes for 312 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.

Nov. 26 Virginia Tech 38 … at Virginia 0
CFN Analysis: The Hokies might not be able to do enough in the ACC championship against Clemson to have any hope of pushing out Alabama from the BCS No. 2 spot, but take the season for what it is – another brilliant campaign for Frank Beamer. This wasn’t necessarily supposed to be an ACC title year, but no one in the league is playing better right now. The offensive line gave David Wilson the room needed to rip off the big plays need to put the game out of reach, and Logan Thomas didn’t make any mistakes. … Turnovers: Virginia 4 – Virginia Tech 0. That’s a huge reason why the Hokies are in the title game. … It’s a shame Wilson isn’t getting more respect in the Doak Walker hunt. He’s No. 4 in the mix, getting squeezed out for Montee Ball, LaMichael James, and Trent Richardson. … If the Hokies beat Clemson, they’ll get stuck with a Big East team in the Orange Bowl. However, they’ll probably finish No. 2 in the rankings with two more wins. 

Nov. 19 Virginia 14 … at Florida State 13
CFN Analysis: Has any coach had to go through a more grueling final few minutes than Mike London had to endure? It took forever to put the game away, but all’s well that ends well, and now the Cavaliers are on a four game winning streak with a shot at winning the Coastal with a win over Virginia Tech. … The defense did a great job of getting off the field. FSU came up with yards, but it struggled time and again on third downs. The D dialed up the pressure and the energy when it had to. … Michael Rocco was cool, calm, and collected against the dangerous and aggressive FSU defense. The line gave him decent time, and he came up with a nice day completing 22-of-31 passes for 238 yards and a score. … Steve Greer made eight tackles and two sacks.  

Nov. 12 at Virginia 31 … Duke 21
CFN Analysis: There’s time to think big. Beating Duke might not be that big a deal for most teams, but most teams haven’t had a problem getting by the Blue Devils lately. … Michael Rocco was spotty, but he picked up his play late in the second quarter and ended up with 191 yards and two scoring passes. He also didn’t make the really big mistake to let Duke take over. … Chase Minnifield did capitalize on the really big mistake. His pick six early in the second half set the tone for the second half, and while the Blue Devils responded with a score on its next drive, the defense put the clamps down the rest of the way. … The run defense was terrific and the line did its job. The pressure was on all game long. … The Coastal is still there for the taking, but it’ll take a win over Florida State to set up a showdown with Virginia Tech for the right to play Duke. If nothing else, the Cavs are going bowling. 

Nov. 5 Virginia 31 … at Maryland 13
CFN Analysis: And now the Cavaliers control their own destiny. At 3-2 in the conference with a win over Georgia Tech and with Virginia Tech still to play, they can win the Coastal by winning out, but for now, just being bowl eligible is a huge surprise and a big step forward in the Mike London era. Perry Jones and the running game were physical against the dead Maryland defense, and Michael Rocco was terrific, throwing for 307 yards and two touchdowns to balance things out. It took a little while, but the team blew up late in the first half and was unstoppable at times in the third quarter. The three turnovers weren’t good, but the five takeaways and 527 yards of offense more than made up for it.  

Oct. 27 Virginia 28 … at Miami 21
CFN Analysis: Virginia opened up the playbook, came up with a bunch of quirky lays, and it got a great game out of Michael Rocco to get back in the hunt for a bowl game after losing to NC State. With winnable games against Maryland and Duke up next before Florida State and Virginia Tech, this game showed that things really are on the right track under Mike London thanks to a defense that’s doing enough to get by and an offense that was almost perfectly balanced. Rocco kept the offense moving, while Perry Jones was brilliant, running for 67 yards, throwing a 37-yard scoring pass, and putting the game away with a 78-yard touchdown. Even with all the tricks, this wasn’t a fluke; Virginia showed it could play with an athletic team that played well. 

Oct. 22 NC State 28 … at Virginia 14
CFN Analysis: Just when it seemed like the Cavaliers were going to be a sneaky-hot team in the ACC race, the win over Georgia Tech has fizzled away now with this loss, and with three road games in the next four and with Virginia Tech to close out the regular season, this loss could loom huge for bowl hopes. Freshman David Watford was awful, completing just 4-of-16 passes for 86 yards and a touchdown with three interceptions while Michael Rocco completed 7-of-19 passes for 36 yards and a score. The four turnovers were a killer, but the offense couldn’t do anything consistently getting most of its production on one big 60-yard play to Tim Smith to get back in the game late in the third. The offense has to find something it can do well consistently, and for an attack that averages 433 yards per game, the potential is there. The Miami game will test the team’s mettle.

Oct. 15 at Virginia 24 … Georgia Tech 21
CFN Analysis: Two weeks. That means everything to stop the Georgia Tech running game, and the Cavaliers showed how to do it … to a point. 1) Run the ball, 2) keep the linebackers and safeties in place and disciplined, and 3) control the clock. The Cavaliers didn’t own the time of possession, but they ran for 272 yards thanks to Perry Jones and his 149 yards on 18 carries. The quick 14-0 lead helped, and the defense’s focused ability to keep the Yellow Jacket offense from taking control with a slew of long drives made the difference. The Cavs also showed the mental toughness to not break down after giving up a pick six in the first half. The offense answered with a touchdown drive and ended up getting up 24-14 at halftime, and then the defense took over and did just enough to pull off the win. With NC State up next, a 5-2 start is possible before going on the road to face Miami. 

Oct. 1 at Virginia 21 ... Idaho 20 OT
CFN Analysis: Virginia seemed to do everything possible to give Idaho the win with three turnovers, misfires galore on offense, coaching gaffes, seven penalties, and major breakdowns on special teams, but the defense got out alive in overtime. Idaho’s offense was stuffed for just 301 yards, but it had a shot at the win and missed. Perry Jones ran for 110 yards and a score and Michael Rocco threw for 240 yards and a touchdown, but the offense couldn’t put the game away after taking a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. It’s not like Virginia stopped trying; it kept screwing up. On the plus side, the run defense did a nice job of stopping the bad Vandal ground game cold, and now it gets two weeks to work on slowing down Georgia Tech.  

Sept. 24 Southern Miss 30 … at Virginia 24
CFN Analysis: Virginia couldn’t seem to come up with the key play at the right time to turn the game around. The Cavaliers have been playing up or down to their competition, and while they converted on three fourth down tries, Michael Rocco’s three interceptions were a killer and the lack of a late defensive stop gave away the win. This was there for the taking, and Virginia didn’t get it done. With Idaho up next, it’s time to settle on the right quarterback to stick with the rest of the way, and it’s time to get an easy win before dealing with Georgia Tech. The run defense has been just good enough to give the Yellow Jackets a hard time, and with a week off after playing the Vandals, the coaches basically have three weeks to prepare.

Sept. 17 at North Carolina 28 … Virginia 17
CFN Analysis: The Cavaliers continue to be decent and keeping the big plays to a minimum, but it got cut to death by a ton of short to midrange plays capitalizing on key mistakes. The Cavaliers aren’t good enough to turn the ball over three times and commit six penalties, but Michael Rocco kept pressing and he managed to keep UNC playing hard with a decent second half. The Cavs seem to play to the level of the competition, and they haven’t played a consistent half during the two road games, but now there’s a nice four game homestand with winnable games ahead against Southern Miss and Idaho to prepare for Georgia Tech.

(AP) CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Bryn Renner threw two touchdown passes and Ryan Houston ran for two scores Saturday to help North Carolina beat Virginia 28-17.

Giovani Bernard ran for 102 yards to lead a strong ground attack for the Tar Heels (3-0, 1-0), who won their first Atlantic Coast Conference opener in 11 years. Dwight Jones and Jheranie Boyd each had TD catches as the UNC offense put together an efficient and relatively mistake-free afternoon.

A week after committing five turnovers against Rutgers, the Tar Heels committed just one -- though that fumbled snap near the goal line early in the fourth quarter came after they led 28-10.

Virginia (2-1, 0-1) moved the football, but the Cavaliers repeatedly squandered opportunities in the first half that could've made this a different game. Instead, they managed only a 41-yard touchdown catch by Max Milien in the third quarter and a 4-yard keeper by Michael Rocco with 5:09 left.

The Cavaliers finished with 468 total yards to outgain the Tar Heels (401). They also ran for 170 yards against a defense that ranked third nationally by allowing 30 yards per game. But they couldn't stop Bernard -- who had runs of 29 and 40 yards -- in a ground attack that finished with 222 yards on 41 carries.

Bernard, a redshirt freshman who missed last season with a knee injury, finished with his first 100-yard game on just 12 carries.

North Carolina hadn't won an ACC opener since winning at Wake Forest in 2000, a skid that outlasted the tenures of two head coaches and constantly kept it fighting uphill in the league standings. But the Tar Heels are now 3-0 for the second time in three seasons while interim coach Everett Withers remains unbeaten since taking over after the firing of Butch Davis a week before preseason camp.

Houston punched in a pair of touchdowns at the goal line and had just 17 yards on nine carries in a role reminiscent of his past seasons as a short-yardage finisher. Renner had a perfectly thrown 18-yard touchdown to Boyd near the front left pylon for North Carolina's first score, then threw a 17-yard scoring pass to Jones -- who managed to get a foot down in bounds of the left side of the end zone -- to push the lead to 21-3 on the opening drive of the second half.

The Tar Heels also forced their first three turnovers of the season. Defensive lineman Sylvester Williams recovered a fumbled snap in the first half, and then safety Matt Merletti intercepted two overthrown passes from Rocco in the final 3 minutes to seal it.

Virginia, meanwhile, had first-half drives end with a missed 45-yard field goal, a fourth-down stop and the fumbled snap.

The Tar Heels played without junior cornerback and punt returner Todd Harrelson, who has been suspended indefinitely for violating team and school rules. The school said his suspension was not related to the NCAA investigation into improper benefits and academic misconduct.

Sept. 10 Virginia 34 … at Indiana 31
CFN Analysis: The Cavaliers are 2-0, and while the tough tests are coming up against North Carolina next week and Georgia Tech to follow, Mike London’s team has done a great job out of the gate … at least until the final 20 minutes against IU. The team isn’t good enough to lose four turnovers and get away with it and while the defense did its part to make up for the mistakes – at times – this was way too tight a game. The Cavs kept the IU offense in check, the pass rush was solid, and there was a decent balance, yet the mistakes almost proved to be too costly. The running game will be spread around with the coaching staff going with the hot hand, while hoping that Perry Jones can start to average more than 3.5 yards per carry, but this was the coming of age game for Michael Rocco, who led the way to the win after it looked like IU had rallied for the win. Jimmy Howell had a great day punting the ball averaging 45.3 yards per pop. 

Sept. 3 at Virginia 40 … William & Mary 3
CFN Analysis: William & Mary is an FCS power that Virginia took behind the woodshed. The defense came up with a terrific effort, allowing just 48 yards rushing and a pathetic 11-of-34 passing day from the Tribe quarterbacks. Michael Rocco was excellent completing 21-of-29 passes for 174 yards, and Kevin Parks was terrific with 114 yards and three touchdowns on 16 carries. But the day was about the defense with consistent pressure into the backfield and a swarm of players keeping the William & Mary offense from ever getting going. This was a perfect start, and considering Indiana lost to Ball State last week, 2-0 is a must going into the ACC opener against North Carolina. 

The 2011 Class Is Heavy On … Wide receivers. Head coach Mike London brought in a really, really nice overall class highlighted by a terrific get in corner Demetrious Nicholson and a big-time Signing Day coup in corner Dominique Terrell. The defensive line got plenty of bodies with seven linemen brought in, and three nice offensive tackles will help the line. The key to the class was the haul of receivers with six prospects brought in including Brandon Phelps, Darius Jennings, and Clifton Richardson, three fast, talented targets who might get a long look for instant playing time.

Five Virginia Recruits You Should Care About
