More good news for Tony Elliott as he looks to build Virginia’s 2023 recruiting class. On the same day that UVA football made the top five for four-star defensive lineman Joel Starlings, another four-star prospect, defensive end James Heard, released his top four schools on Wednesday and the Cavaliers are right in the mix along with Tennessee, West Virginia, and Kentucky.
Heard, a 6’2 “, 224-pound defensive end from St. Joseph’s Prep School in Philadelphia, is rated a four-star prospect by Rivals.com, who also ranked him the No. 13 defensive end in the class of 2023. 247sports classifies Heard as a three-star linebacker, the No. 37 linebacker in the class of 2023, and the No. 9 player in the Pennsylvania.
Tennessee and West Virginia are considered the favorites to land Heard, having already Hosted him on Unofficial visits to their respective campuses. Although Virginia has yet to host Heard, it is a great sign that Tony Elliott and the Cavaliers have made the top four as serious contenders to land Heard’s commitment even before he visits Charlottesville.
