Virginia recruiting coordinator Bob Price, formerly a head coach in the Canadian Football League, returned to his old haunts to gain UVa's eight football commitment for 2009.
Brent Urban, a 6-foot-7, 264-pound defensive end from Missisauga, Ontario, informed Price that he is accepting UVa's offer. Urban had 16 tackles for loss as a junior, when he also had 10 sacks and deflected eight passes.
Urban also had offers from Maryland, Louisville, Akron and Connecticut, according to rivals.com.
Virginia also had a Canadian in its 2008 signing class, offensive lineman Austin Pasztor, also from Ontario, by way of Fork Union Military Academy.
