In 2006, defensive end Sean Gottschalk signed with the University of Virginia. In the 2008 class, linebacker Derek Jackson has given a verbal commitment to Purdue. Deep Run (Glen Allen, VA) has boasted some excellent talents in its varsity football program in recent years, and junior defensive end/tight end Jake Snyder may be the next prospect to receive a scholarship from a Division 1A program.
The 6-4, 235-pound prospect has already generated interest despite not attending any summer camps.
