Virginia Tech picked up its second commit on Saturday, and another verbal from a Georgia, when Malik Willis pledged to join the Hokies' 2017 recruiting class.
I wanna thank God, my family, and friends for pushing me to work hard and be humble Iwant to say I'm committed to Virginia tech #gohokies— alik Willis (@Willis_Malik7) June 18, 2016
WR/CB Henri Murphy committed to the Hokies earlier in the day, and fellow Georgia product TE/OL Lecitus Smith announced for Tech on Wednesday.
The 6-2, 185 pound Roswell, HS (Atlanta, GA) athlete worked out at the Hokies' satellite camp in Atlanta earlier in June.
"Their response to my camp performance was great," Willis told Rivals.com. "It helped working with them on the field because it gave me an idea of how they like to teach and it gave them an idea of how I receive coaching."
Willis plays quarterback, but projects at wide receiver or defensive back for Tech. A recent camp performance caught the eye of Rivals analyst Woody Wommack.
I was surprised by... Class of 2017 Roswell, Ga. athlete Malik Willis has several FBS offers to play quarterback, but on Wednesday night he elected to work out at defensive back. Not only did he hold his own, he looked like he could have quite the future at that position if he decides. Willis is still holding out hope for bigger offers at quarterback, but he could end up seeing Power Five interest as a defensive back.
Willis is rated as a 3-star prospect by the 247Sports Composite.
