To say newly named University of Virginia coach Lars Tiffany has been active on the recruiting scene since taking command of the Cavaliers’ program in late June would be an understatement.

Among Tiffany’s most noteworthy recent commits is one from New Jersey power Mountain Lakes, where versatile Class of 2019 midfielder Drew Brennfleck verballed to Virginia, a decision first reported by Joe Lombardi on LaxLessons.com’s Lacrosse Insider premium coverage section,

A two-way talent, the 6-foot, 170-pound Brennfleck, a righty and Long Island native, has a strong offensive game and really excels in the intangibles, including groundballs.

Now, here’s a Q&A with Drew on his commitment.

What were the main factors in your decision?
Strong academics, prestigious lacrosse program with great coaching staff and Virginia’s big D-I campus feel, with lots of extracurricular options.

What other schools were you considering and what schools did you visit?

Have you decided what academic major you plan to pursue?
Undecided, but leaning towards Business, as my major.
