Looks like we got a verbal from a 2018 QB...

Here is his highlight tape

Glad to see we're getting yet another in-state commit! What a way to celebrate camp starting tomorrow

Boom! #EXITLIGHT18. If only these guys could recruit /s

Yep 4 star dual threat quarterback. Hopefully he stays committed to the good guys.

D.P. the Hokie fan. Once a Hokie always a Hokie

If only these commits really mean it when they say it.

You can't judge all recruits by the actions of a few.

He's visited a few times and he's from Arlington, so I'll take him at his word.

You know, I don't judge all recruits by the actions of a few, but I feel like we've been burned enough to at least view commitments two years out with a jaundiced eye. I didn't really mean to single this young man out, I just expressed a bit of frustration with the process.

I really like how he repeatedly uses his mobility to buy time to find an open receiver, rather than scramble (of which he shows he perfectly capable of). Reminds me of Tyrod...later in his mental development. Seems like he's Taylor-made for HCF's system. Welcome!

Seems like he was beyond the LOS a few times and still had defenders respecting the throw. Tyrodesque.

-What we do is, if we need that extra push, you know what we do? -Put it up to fully dipped? -Fully dipped. Exactly. It's dork magic.

Very good wheels. Very good arm.

I really like how and where this is going.

Going to pencil that one in. Hopefully he sticks with us.

He looks like a good fit for VT! Congratulations on a great decision!

"Exit light..."

Our 2018 class is currently better than Clemsons and 19th nationally!

FIRST DOWN, HOKIES!

This kid has elite speed for a QB. Awesome get. Looks like recruiting is trending in the right direction and will hopefully continue that way.

Awesome news!

You misspelled PIE.

THIS KID IS A STUD, and if he grows an inch or two, oh baby. French gives his stamp of approval on this one.

The bad news is, I think he transferred out of Bishop O'Connell, so I won't get to see him play on August 12. LAME!

Five star get after it 100 percent Juice Key-Playing. MAN

Does he remind you of Mariotta at all?

Maybe Mariotta's successor at Oregon, Vernon Adams.

He reminds me more of Trevon Boykin.

He almost seems like a faster version of college Johnny Manziel

Sweeeet! I'm an Arlington boy! Went to Yorktown, but some sisters went to O'Connell.
Just back from happy hour...I'm good...but dam...4 star QB straight outta Arlington???
Rules...Karma...luck...it's tequila time, like it or not...

A picture is worth a thousand words. A gif is worth a million.

Ouch, Happy Hour did a number on you. Please only do that at home...

Glory is Forever, Let's Go Hokies!!

Wow. He's quick.

Very fast! And, just throwing this out there, but... I can only remember one Hokie who could start, stop and change directions and accelerate like that...

LEG for this one.

Looks like he has a weird throwing motion, but he appears to be accurate.

And oh man he's fast.

I'm no QB guru, but one thing that stood out to me is that he is very poised in the pocket and he is always looking downfield to throw even if he is scrambling a bit. He isn't just a guy that runs as soon as there is a little bit of pressure.

He still has 2 more years of HS left. He seems promising.
