08/06/20 - RB Shane Simpson, rSr/2021, Virginia

If not for the CAA ruling, Simpson could have returned to Towson, where he had more than 2,000 all-purpose yards in 2018 and was a consensus FCS All-American. A list of teams said to be interested in Simpson included Texas, Penn State, Florida State, Duke and Wake Forest. Running backs coach Mark Atuaia was UVa's lead recruiter on Simpson, who had Foreman as a consultant. "First off, he's [Simpson] a great kid," Foreman said. "He works his tail off at everything he does. He takes great care of his body and is looking to get better at everything he does. "He had the best spring of his college career last year. He was coming off an All-American season his junior year. He had a tremendous first game; then, we went up to Maine and his ACL popped.

"He's not the biggest guy [at 5 foot 11 and 205 pounds]. He can always get the yards he needs inside the tackles, but he gets in space and he's special. He has tremendous lateral quickness." Simpson will join a UVa offense whose leading rusher last year, Bryce Perkins, was the quarterback. Wayne Taulapapa is the top returning rusher, coming off a 473-yard season. Premium punt returner Joe Reed is headed to the NFL and that is one of Simpson's specialties. "He's dynamic in that aspect of making people miss in small areas and the quickness and the burst to get away from defenders," Foreman said. "As a running back, he's going to be very dynamic." - Roanoke Times
