That put Virginia prep football players trying to get recruited by colleges in a tough position. “So senior season was going to be a big one.”He’s not alone. William Byrd senior Bryson Lutz was depending on his senior season to seal a chance at the next level. “It’s a mouthpiece that makes for more efficiency for the kids, and me as well.”And as Leftwich says, the Twitter recruiting is an all-day, every day deal. That leaves high school football coaches as the liaison between their players and the next level.

According to Johnson, the average percentage of players the Flames are recruiting in states without fall football is 36%, and 19% of those are in the state of Virginia. “Where it sticks us, we will prioritize over states that are playing football," Johnson said. “The big challenge for us moving forward is the actual 2021 class, their senior film," Adams said. That leaves high school football coaches as the liaison between their players and the next level. That when the spring comes around and you can play, hopefully it all pays off?

Ferrum, Va. area college football programs--are like all the rest of us learning new protocols. and taking things day by day as we wait to see how the fall will be handled--from the president to the governor to the each individual conference..and so on. ferrum alum cleive adams was named the panthers new head coach back in march after spending time at averett. In terms of the team and the program, I dont feel disconnected from the team. What I do feel is the same uncertainty as everybody else and just hoping we get some final answers on what things need to look like moving forward.
