Bethel (Hampton, VA) defensive end prospect Chris Ellis is making his first official visit this weekend to Virginia Tech, and he is looking forward to the opportunity. It is the beginning of what promises to be a long recruiting competition for the outstanding prospect.

“Definitely, I’m real excited to see what they have to offer,” said Ellis, who is a consensus Top 5 ranked player in the state of Virginia.

The Hokies were the obvious front runner in this recruiting race a few months ago, however Ellis now wants to wait until signing day to make his collegiate choice.

“I didn’t think I would wait at first, but now I want to,” said Ellis. “The only way I would commit is if everything goes perfect this weekend. But I don’t think I will commit. I plan to wait and take it week to week until signing day. It’s wide open right now.”
