Wide receiver Eric Kumah committed to Virginia Tech on Friday. The 2016 Forest Park (Woodbridge, VA) standout made it official following an unofficial visit to Blacksburg on June 13.

"In all the times I've been here, I've seen everything else. It just really surprised me, it was really nice, it's the best facility I've been in," Kumah told The Key Play's Alex Koma about Virginia Tech's new indoor practice facility.

Kumah was also in town for Hokies' annual spring game.

At the beginning of April Kumah announced a decision date of June 19, and on June 14 he released a top five of Virginia Tech, Miami, North Carolina State, Kentucky and Maryland. Kumah also held scholarship offers from Tennessee, Virginia, Boston College and Pittsburgh.

Kumah is a 3-star prospect according to the 247Sports Composite. He named Virginia Tech his favorite in January.

"I met all the staff, and it just seems so stable there," Kumah told The Key Play's Alex Koma in January. "A lot of those guys have been there for a long time. I don't go to a school where the coach leaves the next year and you have to worry about having a whole different system or if you'll get to play."

Virginia Tech wide receivers coach Zohn Burden and Virginia Tech defensive coordinator Bud Foster receiver the lion's share of credit for securing Kumah's verbal commitment.

Alex will try to speak with Eric about his decision soon, in the meantime, these past articles give a solid overview on his recruitment.
