Hokies Score First Class Of 2015 Commit

Just before the start of its 2013 home finale against Maryland, the Virginia Tech football program scored its first verbal commitment in the class of 2015. Marcus Lewis , a 6’2″, 190-pound wide receiver/defensive back out of Gonzaga College High School (Washington, D.C.), tweeted the news just before this afternoon’s kick-off.

“IM COMMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA TECH! #BlessedToBeAHokie#DBU#Hokies!”

Lewis was in Blacksburg today on an unofficial visit along with fellow Gonzaga juniors Nick Johns (QB) and Richie Petitbon (OL). All three of these players boast at least one major FBS scholarship offer. Virginia Tech had offered Lewis a scholarship prior to his arrival today, and he also received offers from Clemson, Maryland and Ohio State, among others.

Lewis’ junior season highlights, which included a 60-yard reception and a kick-off return for a touchdown against WCAC-rival Good Counsel, are up on Hudl.com and can be see by clicking here.

Stay tuned to TSL for more in this latest recruiting development and more news from this big recruiting weekend.

  1. I judge our recruits status by other offers most of the time and stars second (not saying that other players w/o a decent offer list are bad, but you know, before on the field observation and all). If OSU and Clemson offered he seems like a good pick up.

  2. hmmm, University of Virginia Tech??

    I don’t care much for commits that a year out, especially when it is a highly ranked out of state recruit.

    1. I saw that too, U of VT.

      However, I don’t consider DC to be “that” much out of state; considering DC is a District and not part of any state.

      Anyway, Marcus, welcome to the HOKIE NATION. Looking forward to seeing you catch some balls from Ford and scoring some TDs.

    2. What is the big deal with university? “State University” is in the official name.

      Welcome Marcus.

      DBU is right.
