DATELINE: LENGTH: Short
McGill, a 6-foot-2, 170-pound quarterback, passed for 1,333 yards and 15 touchdowns and ran for more than 1,000 yards and 17 touchdowns for Gaffney High School, which was ranked No. 15 in the country before finishing 14-1.
Several publications had portrayed McGill as Georgia Tech-bound before he visited UVa and committed over the weekend. The Cavaliers plan to give him a look at quarterback, but he also has attracted their interest as a possible wide receiver or defensive back.
Virginia has received 13 commitments. Defensive lineman Maurice "Mo" Anderson from Fork Union Military Academy called off a news conference Monday and says he will announce his decision Sunday. The Cavaliers remain in the lead, sources said.
