The signing day also included our 1st and 10 Week 5 Player of the Week Garrett Via. Via will graduate as the Alleghany single-season rushing leader, and touchdown-scorer.
“I wanted to play Division 1 football and Division 1 sports in general since I was a kid,” Via said. “Definitely, I want to play that type of sport. People also told me that going to VMI, you graduate and you get a good job, I want to go there to get a good job as well. Seasons in the past weren’t the greatest. This was a good year to finish out on top and schools combining next year, I just want to continue the legacy and a winning season would be great.”
