Big time get! Now we have to keep him. Will be awesome seeing Vitor on TV during the game.
Absolute stud! Welcome home!
0.88 rated QB and he's reclassified up into the 2024 class -- basically forgoing a year. A 5'10" QB pulling in his offer list and a .88 rating after just two years of high school ball shows hów dynamic of an athlete he can be
Looking forward to seeing more of his highlights
Estou tão feliz hoje. Viva Brasil, Viva Belfort, Viva Futebol e Viva Futebol. Bem-vindo ao lar Davi. Vamos de Hokies
I'm so happy today. Viva Brazil, Viva Belfort, Viva Football and Viva Futbol. Welcome Home Davi. Let's Go Hokies
Look at that offer list
So he had two other hats on the table and not mentioned on the offer list.
They were on the list, click "see all offers" at the bottom. There's 29 total
The full offer list was 29 per 247. Both Sparty and aTm are listed (the other two finalists)
Belfort?
"The Wolf of Blacksburg!"
Now we can beat Da []_[] at their own game!!!
Welcome aboard, Davi!
Others have alluded to it, but for those who don't already know, he is the son of retired MMA/UFC fighter Vitor Belfort.
Well, he should hopefully show up in shape then.
Welcome to the Hokies!
Been waiting on this one - LFG.
LFG!!!!!
Awesome! I see Bowen was the primary recruiter too, so props to him.
Hell yes! With him reclassifying and with Drones/Wells timeline, I would expect him to take a redshirt year, but this is a great get and sets up the QB room nicely!
Got give Bowen/Pry credit for flipping the QB room once again. Between Drones, Wells, and Pop, we have a solid starter, a solid back up, and a solid development project. Not a bad place to be.
Is Bullock still here? Gotta figure it's going to be tough for him to crack the depth chart, much less get reps.
Yup, Bullock still on Roster. As is Wittke and a walk on QB
and Devin Farrell
Ok so we would expect some attrition here right? Wittke and Bullock seem like the two, which would leave Wells, Drones, Farrell, and Watson with Belfort coming in. Seems like enough QBs.
Could be some position changes to ATH, could be some attrition. Covid year gives Wells two more years of eligibility even though Hokiesports lists him as a r-SR. QB is the one position where I'd rather have 1 too many on the roster than 1 too few, situation can change in an instant with injuries/portal
Wittke isn't likely to transfer out based on his first spring, unless there is an off-the-field issue.
If Drones wins the spring competition with affirmation that he'll start the fall as QB1, I could see Wells transferring out if he wants starter reps. I presume he can be a graduate transfer and thus able to do so easily.
If Watson is ahead of Bullock and Farrell come end of April, one or both might be in the portal if they want to stick at QB.
Of course, everything depends on the their priorities, what they're willing to accept, and their ability to play another position (most likely DB based on the RB and WR transfers).
Farrell did play DB in high school fwiw
Damn hell of an offer list to beat out!! Super stoked!
Welcome aboard Davi!
Welcome home Davi! It's not everyday you get a former MMA legend's son to come play football at your school lol.
We get Steiner at BBall games and Belfort at Football games now.
His dad was a star in his on right, but his mom is the main super star of that family. Wowza!
After seeing that guy in the gif get his soul kicked into next week, probably best not to say hi.
I wouldn't even glance in her general direction.
You would in her prime on the cover of playboy. You would regret it but you'd glance.
I like attractive women, but not enough to have my face violently ejected through the back of my head.
Mom seems to be qualified.!
It's been said, but bears repeating:
LFG!!!
Isn't Ferrell still around for us at QB? Wouldn't mind also seeing him get some PT to show us what he has.
I looked into his family and had not realized Davi is Brazilian (makes sense his dad being an MMA star). To make it feel like home, West End should add a Brazilian Churrascaria serving picanha, filet mignon, chicken heart, linguica, farofa, pao de quiejo, mousse de maracuja, and brigadeiros. Or, I bet Vitor can throw a real good bbq.
And other random thoughts... I wonder if his mom and Gisele Bundchen are friends. Both are Brazilian models of a similar era. Maybe Davi and Tom Brady know each other?
So ... you are confirming Tom is out next QB analyst ...
if we want him we should hire somebody he knows, like this guy he knew in college, Scut...Scat...Scot...ah forget it
And I guess there's this...
Edit: The translation is:
The moment Davi Belfort announced is college football home.
We cheer for you, kid.
We are all Virginia Tech!!
Picanha- yes please. that is one tasty cut of beef.
Pry better be good to him or his dad will kick his ass 😂
Pry's worst nightmare would be if daddy Belfort and other Hokie fave dad Big Poppa Pump joined up for a triple threat match. No one wants the Frankensteiner!
