2016 wide receiver Phillip Patterson verbally committed to Virginia Tech Saturday afternoon. The Bayside (Virginia Beach, VA) product picked the Hokies over offers from Duke, PSU, ODU, UNC and Wake Forest. The 6-2, 180 pound prospect is rated as a 3-star recruit by the 247Sports Composite.

2018 Bayside LB Teradja Mitchell captured video of Patterson's announcement.

"Coach White told me about the offer, and I was just so excited, I didn't expect it at all," Patterson told The Key Play after he received his Tech offer in February. "It's a blessing. I definitely like the Hokies."

The versatile Patterson was originally offered as a defensive back, but he is now slotted as a wideout.

Patterson made his first visit to Virginia Tech last weekend and left impressed. WR coach Zohn Burden, who recruited Patterson when he was an assistant at ODU, ran point on Patterson's unofficial trip.

"It's been amazing," Patterson told The Key Play during his visit. "It's been everything I expected and even a little bit more."
