In now way is Vredd a below average player in basketball, and to say he is below average in football is insane, he made all state his junior and senior yeah, and i played beside him this year in football, and he is one of the best leaders in football i have ever seen. Oh yeah and there is no chance UVA will redshirt him, he will go in and start his freshman year, and play the LB/DE position in their defense.
