The freshman class of 2005 list continued to get longer today, as the Cavaliers received a commitment from 6'3", 205-lbs. Richmond quarterback Jameel Sewell.
The left-hander is the 20th rising high school senior to commit to the Cavaliers early. Two other players who were expected to join the Cavaliers for the 2004 season, Olu Hall and Branden Albert, failed to meet NCAA eligibility standards and will likely join the Cavaliers for the 2005 season. That means 22 out of the 25 scholarship spots have already been filled months before signing day next spring.
Sewell threw for 1,032 yards as a junior at Hermitage High last season, completing 65 of 135 passes. He is the second quarterback to commit for the 2005 season, following Vic Hall of Gretna, Va. Hall was ranked the No. 3 recruit in the state by Rivals.com while Sewell was ranked No. 12.
