Abrash '16 to Richmond

Speedy outfielder will stay close to home.
The class of 2016 commitment list continues to grow with a famiiar name: Richmond.

Ross Abrash '16 is the latest to commit to the University of Richmond, as the outfielder will play baseball for the Spiders.

Nick Sherod '16 (basketball), Tazle Sumpter '16 (football) and Sean Menges '16 (lacrosse) have all committed to the Spiders as well.

"Richmond is close to home and I really like that," Abrash said. "It's a really good school, one of the best I was looking at."

Abrash also considered Furman and Lafayette. He hit .410 last season, scored 20 runs and swiped 15 bases.

Abrash will just miss being teammates with Spiders outfielder Jansen Fraser '12, a former StC standout who is a senior for UR.

"[Richmond was] the best academic and the best baseball," said Abrash, "so that's why I chose them."
