Virginia picked up its seventh football commitment for the class of 2009 on Friday when Tucker Windle of Charlotte (N.C.) Catholic chose the Cavaliers, according to sources.

The 6-foot-2, 227-pound Windle plays linebacker and tight end at Charlotte Catholic. He chose UVa over offers from Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, N.C. State and Wisconsin.

Windle had 64 tackles and eight sacks as a junior in 2007. His father, Steele “Al” Windle, played linebacker at UVa in 1977.
