Virginia football coaches have been flirting with Fork Union post graduate defensive back Jamel Hamm – a 6-4, 200-pound cornerback, who Fork Union Military Academy head coach John Shuman called “One of the top athletes to come through here in 30-something years.”
That’s an impressive list, which includes New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas, former Cavaliers Darryl Blackstock and Morgan Moses, former first-round pick Gaines Adams and current UVa cornerback Darrius Bratton.
Hamm came to Fork Union from Ginn Academy, an all-male school in Cleveland, Ohio, which was founded by Ted Ginn Sr. – the father of NFL journeyman wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr.
According to
247sports.com, Hamm has offers from Miami (Ohio), Kent State, Massachusetts and Alabama State. Virginia has yet to offer, neither has any other Power 5 program.
