Braxton Clark commits to the Hokies

6'3", 180 lb corner from Orlando, FL. Seems to have great range and has some decent size as well. Should continue the DBU tradition well.

Received an offer from Virginia Tech yesterday. Took an unofficial visit on May 25th, and committed 5 days later. Me thinks he really wanted to be a Hokie.

Well that was a quick turnaround.

Galen Scott is a Boss.

uva sucks

How is this not the easiest recruitment pitch of all time?

"Oh, you're named Clark and play DB? Perhaps you've heard of Chuck."

That's awesome. We have been offering a ton of CBs lately, I wonder how many we'll end up taking. He's teammates with another recent CB offer Tanner Ingle.

All of them.

As I've been told, the 4 most likely are Braxton,
Ingle, Crossen, and Burton. We'll keep a spot open for Gervin and then would probably only keep one more open for either Graves or Thompson.

That seems like a solid list. Just curious, is there anything from keeping guys like Hollins, Plummer, or Webb from committing now and taking a spot from Crossen or Burton?

Also, were you referring to Nate or Nadir Thompson, or either?

Crossen is Tier 1 with Gervin. Spot will be open for him no matter what.

And I was referring to Nadir.

Based on the film, I really like the physicality of Jeremy Webb the JUCO DB. Do you know if they are recruiting him as a CB or Safety?

That's a solid DB class. Really want Graves though.

You will see this game, this upset and this sign next on ESPN Sportscenter. Virginia Tech 31 Miami 7

His decision was made after a phone call with longtime Virginia Tech assistant coach Bud Foster. All Foster told him was, "We win. They don't."

hmmmm nice he wants to be a Hokie that fast but I can't get too excited just looking at his offer list.

Don't forget we signed DE Robert Porcher IV from same HS (Dr. Phillips) in Orlando, last cycle. This kid prob stuck out also, meaning we've been scouting him for a while. I trust our evaluations and especially the under the radar guys we've landed from Florida. Great size at 6'3" and his P5 offers, while low, have all come relatively quickly.

He's a 3-star now on 247 and that means way less to me than our staff's record on landing under-rated and sometimes even un-rated guys from that state. Also Ike Charlton's HS.... With Galen Scott being from Orlando this is a welcome sign for me, two classes in a row from the same school.

Plus, his hudl page claims he runs a 4.5 40 and has a 38" vertical. Those are some good numbers for a 6'3" guy if they're close to accurate.

VT Class of '12 (MSE), MVBone, Go Hokies!

He just picked up most of his offers in the past couple weeks. He's gonna pick a lot more offers before it's all said and done, so we will have to keep recruiting him hard.

In Sam Rogers we trust.

Looks like Fuente unlocked the instant commit coaching trait on NCAA 14

Wonder how many times he had to save and reload for this one.

Good deal. This is all moving in the right direction.

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

We don't love dem Hoos.

Not a lot to go off of from that film. Personally don't see corner at all, but maybe will end up at safety.
