VT Hoping to Sway Hosley

Atlantic (Delray Beach, FL) cornerback Jayron Hosley has narrowed his list to South Florida and Virginia Tech, but before he makes his college choice he will take an official visit to Blacksburg. Atlantic head coach Andre Thaddies admits that the Hokies “came in late” in recruiting the 5-10, 173-pound Hosley, but Tech will get the final shot to impress this weekend.

“We have had a lot of guys from this school go to Virginia Tech,” Thaddies said. A recent former Atlantic and Tech standout is Brandon Flowers, who recently spoke with Hosley about the Hokies.

“Jayron is familiar with Virginia Tech. He has been a Virginia Tech fan in terms of football. He wants to take a look at it.”

Multiple reports indicate that Hosley’s clear number one is the University of South Florida. Asked about the Bulls’ standing with his talented prospect, Thaddies said, “He likes it. He enjoyed his visit there. We have a player from last year there and we have another former kid trying to get there from junior college. He also comes from a very close family. He has five siblings, so if it comes down to a family issue then that could help them.”
