Virginia football gained its 18th commitment to the Class of 2019 on Monday, when dual-threat quarterback Robert Harvey, Jr., said he will be a Cavalier.
Harvey is a 5-foot-10, 187-pound athlete from Orlando, Fla. (Edgewater H.S.). He had 26 offers.
Harvey chose Virginia over Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Central Florida, Syracuse, Appalachian State, and East Carolina among others.
He is rated a 3-star prospect by 247Sports. This is what Harvey tweeted out today to announce his decision:
“First off I want to thank God for Blessing me with the opportunity to play Football. I want to thank my parents and all of my family for always being there for me and making me the person I am today.
“I also want to thank the Edgewater coaching staff and the teachers and the admin for turning the program around into a team that can compete with anyone, teaching us right from wrong, and molding us into respectful young men.
“I want to thank all of my teammates throughout the years for always having my back and going to war with me through the Spring, Summer, and Fall. Lastly I want to thank all of the coaches from different colleges and universities for believing that I can be apart of their program.
“So with all that being said I am proud to announce that I am 100% committed to the University of Virginia!“
