Commitment! Virginia football lands Florida linebacker Kenneth Ruff

Playing on a Friday night prevented the Virginia football program from hosting many visitors, but 2016 Fort Lauderdale linebacker Kenneth Ruff was in the house for his official visit.

While the game did not go as anybody hoped that it would, Ruff saw all that he need to see to bring his recruitment to a close. On Saturday night, the six-foot-one, 236-pound middle linebacker committed to the Orange and Blue.

Ruff selected Virginia over additional offers from Clemson, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Louisville, North Carolina, and South Carolina among others.

The Florida native is a consensus three-star recruit across the board, and is ranked as the 26th best inside linebacker in the entire class of 2016 by Rivals.
