Virginia Tech Football Recruiting: 2016 QB Logan Byrd Decommits

Quarterback Logan Byrd of Kathleen, Ga.'s Veterans high school announced on Twitter this afternoon that he opened up his recruitment.

I have officially opened back up my recruitment. Spoke with Coach Leoffler today-I have decommited from VT.— Logan Byrd (@LoganByrd2016QB) March 9, 2015

The 2016 3-star prospect committed to Virginia Tech on September 13, 2014.

"Why wait?" Byrd told The Key Play's Alex Koma after he committed. "When you get the right feeling about a school, you know they really like you, you have to jump on that opportunity."

It's unclear why he decided to look at other opportunities. At the time of his commitment, Byrd's head coach seemed surprised he made a decision so early in the process.

"I had no idea he was going to commit this early, I thought he'd wait until the spring," said David Bruce, the head coach and athletic director at Veterans. "He told me right before he did it. He had other schools he liked, but I guess that's just a sign of how much they impressed him."

And remember, Byrd's commitment came before 2015 signal caller Dwayne Lawson verballed and subsequently signed with Tech. And Byrd committed well before the Hokies hired Lawson's high school offensive coordinator, Max Warner, to its staff.

Either way, Beamer Co. has previously stated they would like to sign one quarterback in each recruiting class, and it's rare for a player to decommit, then recommit to the same school.
