2014 TE/DE Xavier Burke Commits to Virginia Tech

As reported by Douglas Doughty, Xavier Burke (Brunswick) has committed to the Hokies. That's Tech's 4th commitment for the 2014 cycle. He attended Virginia Tech's one-day camp last Saturday, and had to have made an impression on the coaches. Rivals.com has him listed at 6-3, 247. I'm unable to find a highlight film, or very much useful information.

The Brunswick Times-Gazette wrote about him last August, "Burke was one of the top tight ends in the Southside District last season and has soft hands to go along with his 6-4 height." It also looks like he played a little quarterback last season, and was an All-Region I Honorable Mention.

Brunswick went 1-9 last season, scoring just 64 points, and they were shutout 4 times. It doesn't appear as if Burke plays for a powerhouse, so it's possible Beamer Co. found another hidden gem in Virginia.

If anyone has seen him play, please let everyone know what you think of him in the comments below.
