For
Woodbridge (Va.) sensation
Da'shawn Hand, a recruiting process that began in 2010 is about to come to an end.
Hand, a
MaxPreps Freshman All-American in 2010, was offered by Boston College that same year after a ninth-grade campaign in which he also earned All-District honors and put together an eye-opening highlight reel as a 6-foot-4, 220-pound freshman.

Since then, the defensive end has gone on to amass dozens of offers and earn a
No. 4 ranking in the 247Composite for the Class of 2014.
On Thursday, Hand will announce his college decision from his narrowed list: Alabama, Michigan and Florida.
The
247Sports Crystal Ball favors the Wolverines. However with both other squads struggling, it might be difficult for Hand to pass up an offer from Alabama.
Hand's decision comes on the heels of Woodbridge's regular season finale, a 19-6 win over Gar-Field.
He then made the trip to Gainesville to take in Florida's matchup against Vanderbilt, a game the Gators lost 34-17.
Wherever Hand ends up, he won't be fazed by the attention. This season a camera crew has followed him around on and off the field for an
ongoing documentary for the Washington Post.
Hand and Woodbridge will look to keep the cameras rolling past this Friday, when the team squares off with Varina in the Class 6A playoffs.
