Virginia gets commitment from South Carolina offensive tackle Curry

By Jerry Ratcliffe

Virginia offensive line coach Garett Tujague wasted no time to fill in spots along his depleted position room by landing a commitment Friday from Houston Curry, a 6-foot-7, 265-pound tackle from Simpsonville, S.C.

Curry announced his decision on his Twitter account, committing to UVA and canceling a recruiting visit to Washington State. He is expected to sign during the second national signing date in early February.

Curry is the 10th player in Virginia’s recruiting class, the other nine having signed in December. The Cavaliers have also added two players via the transfer portal in former Wisconsin wide receiver Devin Chandler and former Michigan State defensive end Jack Camper.

While he played left tackle for Hillcrest High School, Curry switched to right tackle in last month’s North-South All-Star Game. He committed to Tujague during an in-home visit.

Virginia lost its entire offensive line after the season either via graduation or the transfer portal.

After a great talk today with @Coach_TElliott and @Coach2J super excited to announce that I am 100% committed to the University of Virginia!!! #GOHOOS #BigMenLead 🔶⚔️🔷@train0187 @MrCoachFrate @CoachPerdomo @LeighJudy @JacquieFran_ @CoachSullivanF3 pic.twitter.com/crkgR1bGSg
