2016 North Carolina wide receiver Conner O'Donnell made a verbal commitment to Hokies yesterday. The Charlotte Observer's Prep Insiders blog reported the news last night.

O'Donnell was the first Virginia Tech commit for the class of 2016, giving his commitment to Virginia Tech assistant, Shane Beamer, also the son of Hokies' head coach, Frank Beamer. He also had offers from UCLA, Mississippi State and Akron with interest from most of the schools in the ACC, Big 12, SEC and more.

O'Donnell recently transferred to CFA [Concord First Assembly] from SouthLake Christian where he played for the elder O'Donnell, helping the Eagles to a NCISAA Division III state championship last season.

O'Donnell had 48 catches for 1,308 yards (27 yards per catch) and eight touchdowns for SouthLake Christian last season earning all-state and all-Lake Norman News' honors in the process.

O'Donnell told The Key Play via Twitter direct message, "I'm excited to be a Hokie! Dream school, wanted to commit the day they offered in March."

Shane Beamer extended the scholarship according to Conner. "Shane said, 'We'll take it tomorrow, up until signing day 2016' our plan was to do it before junior season. I called last night, done!

"I said, 'I have good news', Shane knew right away, he said, 'Congratulations on your decision, we are excited to have you as a Hokie.'"

Conner has planned a visit to Tech next week.

We plan to have more information about Conner's commitment later.
