Tech, UVa get commitments
The final weekend before the national signing date yielded commitments for both Virginia Tech and Virginia, the most prominent coming from wide receiver Randall Dunn from Ocean Lakes High School in Virginia Beach.
Dunn, rated the No. 15 prospect in Virginia by The Roanoke Times, committed to Virginia Tech. Ocean Lakes coach Jim Prince said Dunn (6-foot-3 1/2, 220 pounds) picked Tech over UVa and North Carolina, with the Cavaliers probably his second choice.
Dunn, who did not come out for football until midway through his junior, had 38 receptions for 856 yards and scored 13 touchdowns as a senior.
Prince said he would meet Sunday afternoon with quarterback Marcus Davis, who has been trying to decide between the Hokies and Penn State.
Virginia's commitments were from Mike Price, a 6-5, 265-pound offensive and defensive lineman from Deep Creek High School in Chesapeake, and 6-6, 215-pound defensive end Tory Allen from Lovejoy, Ga.
Price, rated the No. 83 prospect on The Roanoke Times' list, had committed to Division I-A neophyte Old Dominion one week earlier. Allen was a basketball player exclusively until this year, when he attracted late interest from UVa, North Carolina and Georgia Tech.
