TyJuan Garbutt was a big target for Virginia Tech very early in the process.  In fact, he committed to the Hokies on his Junior Day visit last February, and it marked the first big recruiting win for Justin Fuente.  Garbutt decomitted over the summer, mostly to appease his high school coach, but after the season began I was never worried.  He visited Blacksburg for five of Tech’s six home games and even traveled to the Belk Bowl.  You don’t visit a school that much unless you intend to go there.
