West Columbus (Cerro Gordo, NC) star Ricardo Crawford, a physically gifted 6-1, 305-pound defensive tackle recruit, plans on making a verbal commitment in the very near future. Crawford is considering official offers from Appalachian State, Georgia, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest.

“[Georgia, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest] are the main ones in contention,” West Columbus head coach Vernon Brigman said. “We went to Blacksburg on Sunday and we met coach Beamer and coach Wiles and the rest of the staff. He got to tour everything and got the academic breakdown.

“I took him to Georgia on May 7th. He spent time with coach Richt and coach Garner, who is the defensive line coach. They took him on a tour like they did in Blacksburg. We’re going to Wake Forest on June 11th. They have a defensive line camp there on that day.”

When asked if Crawford enjoyed his Virginia Tech experience, Brigman answered, “He loved it.”
