Cormac Craigie

Piedmont, Calif.

Piedmont/Trinity-Pawling (N.Y.)

"Cormac is an athletic quarterback and another West coast guy to go along with Aaron Corp. He was part of a very high scoring offense in California then transferred to the East coast and continued to have great success. He adds depth to our quarterback situation."

Austin Gund

OL Fr. 6-3, 290

Washington, D.C.

Gonzaga College High

Caleb High

Raleigh, N.C.

Millbrook High School

Trevor Jones

ATH Fr. 5-11, 185

Charles City

"Trevor is a versatile athlete who comes from a very small school. We also had him in camp, where he did a lot of great things.

He played multiple positions in high school so we won't have a problem finding a place from him on the field."

Justin Grant

ATH Fr. 6-1, 190

Franklin, Va.

Franklin

"Justin actually played in the same high school district as Trevor Jones and had the opportunity to compete against him. He is a very versatile player who played receiver, defensive back, returned kicks and punts in high school. He had 13 interceptions and returned seven of them for touchdowns. He very well could be one of the best athletes we have."

Justin Williamson

DE Fr. 6-4, 225

Hampton, Va.

Phoebus

"Justin is a very tough young man who came to two camps this summer. He really wanted to come to Richmond. Justin never lost a high school game and that's the type of winning quality we are looking for. He won 47 straight high school games."

Seth Fisher

FB/LB Fr. 6-1, 220

Salem, Va.

Adam Farley

DL Fr. 6-2, 315

Charlotte, N.C.

Aaron Roane

LB Fr. 6-2, 200

West Point, Va.

"Aaron was our very first commit in this class. He committed back in the spring last year. He will probably play linebacker for us, but he ran for 5,000 yards as a running back in high school. He should help us right away as linebacker."
