The 19th member of the Virginia Cavaliers football recruiting class of 2018 announced his commitment on Thursday, in cornerback D.J. Brown out of St. John’s College High School in Washington, D.C.
Brown has some great measurables, standing 6-foot-1 and tipping the scales at about 180. He’s rated 3 stars by ESPN and 2 stars by Rivals; 247 and Scout have yet to rate him. But he’s a poster child for judging a prospect by his offers and not by his rating: Brown picked UVA over offers from Arizona, Vanderbilt, and Boston College, among others.
