Big Recruiting Weekend: Visitors List

Saturday will mark the biggest recruiting day for the Hokies this season, and maybe even the calendar year. The Hokies will host some of their biggest targets for the 2021 class, as well as 2020 commits and prospects and some potential 2022 and 2023 targets.

The biggest name for Hokies fans to keep in their minds now is Naquan Brown. He's a top 5 DE in the nation and will probably be the number one target in the 2021 class for Bud Foster's successor.

Another name to watch is Christopher Johnson. Johnson is a lanky, downfield playing tight-end much like James Mitchell. He's highschool teammates with current Hokies commit Keonta Jenkins, so the Hokies are for sure in the running.

Enai White is the #1 player in the state of PA for 2022, and a freak athlete. 6'4", 210lbs., plays DE, LB, anything he really wants, truthfully.

Andrew Canelas is a very very big kid. He's 6'8", 303lbs. That's gotta make Vance Vice stare off into the distance and daydream a little.

Gary Smith III is a good DT prospect that plays a lot like Ricky Walker. This weekend is his official visit. He has his choices down to the Hokies and Duke. He would be a really good addition to the 2020 class, and could help develop some depth at a position that the Hokies have really struggled with the past 2-3 seasons.

Big weekend in terms of getting some top-end guys to Blacksburg. 6'8" 303lbs. big, to be exact.
