“I chose UVA because of its strong academic standings, and its status as a Power 4 program,” Rowe said. “I built a strong connection with Coach Elliot during my visit in the spring. Coach Mike Adams reached out to me many times and the whole staff did a great job recruiting.”
The versatility Rowe brings to the field was really appealing to coaches around the country.
“I have been recruited primarily as a linebacker but talking to Coach Elliot, he mentioned that they can use me in many different ways,” he said. “So, I’d imagine I may play some safety/nickel.”
During his latest visit to Charlottesville, Rowe and his family felt like they were a great fit.
“I love the energy I saw at the spring practice, as well as the hospitality UVA showed as a whole,” said Rowe. “My parents took a strong liking to it as well as they showed us all the academic help that the athletes get.”
As a junior, Rowe was credited with 35 tackles, five tackles for a loss, two forced fumbles, three interceptions, and two pick-sixes. On offense, he had 28 catches for 483 yards and five touchdowns.
