Virginia commit Dillon Reinkensmeyer from Highlands Ranch (Colo.) Valor Christian played both ways in a losing effort Friday night, though he told me the Cavaliers are looking at him primarily for the offensive line.
Reinkensmeyer looked lean and athletic, with a good frame that should take some good weight at the next level. If that happens, he should have a chance to develop into a solid offensive tackle down the road. He has some good potential to not only be effective in pass protection, but also showed the willingness to get down field in the run game. He has good feet and instincts, but right now there shouldn't be an expectation for him to contribute until he gets a year or two with a college training program.
On the recruiting front, Reinkensmeyer told me he's taking his official visit to Virginia in January but he'll unofficially visit campus the weekend of Sept. 25 for the Boise State game. He has been hearing from locals Colorado and Colorado State a lot recently, but Reinkensmeyer said he's locked in with the Cavs.
