Tony Elliott and Virginia have secured another commitment for their 2026 recruiting class. Alex Dunn, a versatile athlete from Rustburg High School in Rustburg, VA, revealed on social media this evening that he has committed to the Cavaliers.
Alex Dunn, a standout wide receiver and defensive back at Rustburg High School, is a versatile 6’1″, 180-pound athlete with potential at both positions. With the right coaching and development, Dunn has the opportunity to become a key contributor at the next level. He marks the fifth commitment for Virginia’s 2026 recruiting class.
This commitment comes less than a week after Virginia secured another pledge from three-star offensive tackle Michael Gildea, who plays at Hun School in Princeton, NJ. Gildea, who committed to Tony Elliott and the Cavaliers last Thursday, became the fourth member of UVA’s 2026 class and the second offensive lineman.
According to the 247Sports Composite, Gildea is ranked as the No. 987 player in the nation, the No. 77 offensive tackle, and the No. 19 player in New Jersey. He also received offers from several notable programs, including Boston College, Duke, North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech, and Wake Forest. Gildea is expected to take an official visit to UVA on June 19th. Currently, Virginia sits at No. 62 in the national recruiting rankings and No. 14 in the ACC.
