Another prospect from Virginia is headed to UCF on Nov. 11 for an official visit.

Offensive lineman James Collins announced on Sunday night that he will be making the trip to Florida the weekend of the UConn game. Collins plays for one of the state's top schools, Chesapeake's Oscar Smith Tigers. Teammate Keshon Artis, an outside linebacker, will also visit UCF that weekend.

This won't be Collins' first trip to UCF. He was an unofficial visitor for UCF's 61-17 season-opening win against FIU. This is his first scheduled official visit.

"I love how amped the atmosphere and environment is around the whole school," Collins said. "I love how the team really connects as a team, but more importantly as a family."

UCF currently has offensive line commitments from Devin Jordan, Edward Collins and Eric Seidelman.
