Deon Newsome Commits to the Hokies

As first reported by 247Sports, Deon Newsome has committed to Virginia Tech over Virginia. Deon's father is former Hokie Myron Newsome who played at Tech in the late 90s. Newsome is 5-11, 172 out of Hampton in the seven-five-seven.

Deon is a true athlete that lines up all over the field for the Crabbers.

Will he be at wide receiver, where he's averaging 27 yards a catch? Or maybe tailback, where he turned a 2-yard loss into a 3-yard touchdown on fourth-and-goal last week? Or even quarterback, where he's particularly effective in the wildcat?

The truth is, you just don't know. And that's just offense — he's also a morale killer at linebacker and as a return specialist.

He projects as a corner back, and he might be the second/third to last defensive back we take in this class (DaeSean Hamilton, Kendall Fuller being the other two).

What do you guys think of his film?

Not sure how I feel about rooting for a Hampton High kid
