Gilman's Darius Jennings picks Virginia

Gilman quarterback Darius Jennings has committed to Virginia, picking the Cavaliers over Ohio State and Wake Forest.

The Baltimore Sun's All-Metro Offensive Player of the Year had also considered Maryland, UCLA, Virginia Tech, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Boston College and Connecticut before trimming his list to three.

The Baltimore Sun's Katherine Dunn will have more on Jennings' commitment later today.

The next local player to watch is Calvert Hall safety Adrian Amos, a first-team All-Metro selection. A three-star prospect, Amos has narrowed his list to Penn State, West Virginia and Connecticut -- where he originally committed. Amos' announcement is scheduled for 2:45 p.m.

A little surprised by this, but as a Terp fan, I'm fine with that. I don't see UVA competing for ACC Championships anytime soon.

That is two 4 star players UVA has snagged from Maryland... Neither is a surprise though... The Terps do not need a QB, and both of Phelps parents are UVA alumni (not to mention UMD zero credibility at Damascus, they have never recruited there)
