Former basketball standout from Florida becomes Hokies' first TE pledge since 2023. Has 0 stars, but only started playing football 6 months ago.

Very cool and seems like he could be a stud, but my question is why? Why commit to a school so far away when you don't know who the coach will be? Maybe he knows it'll be Mullen and he's the next Kyle Pitts.

Either he knows who the new coach is, or he is real damn excited to wear maroon and orange. Also, given his background maybe this is a 2-sport pickup that is more for Mike Young than football, who knows

maybe it's just we are his only P4 offer and/or have him the highest offer so far. There is no point in speculation until he's signed and enrolled.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

To be noted, he has three other offers. One of those is Southern Miss (Charles Huff), and the other is UNLV (Dan Mullen).

Heck, I am excited for him as a basketball walk on. Might be good at football as well.

Watching these clips has good positioning but almost everything is as a wide receiver so curious how he handles blocking or running routes from a TE spot. Wouldn't mind him just being a wide receiver here if that is a better fit for his skill set.

Kyle Pitts, Bucky Hodges, and James Mitchell were all TEs that were actually receivers. He could be in that mold.

Can he play football? Given the state of our program, that would be enough for a scholarship.

Has he ever seen a football? That's good enough for me /s

Not sure what the total story is, but not signing tomorrow. Who knows if he'll stick throughout
