Tech and new ACC member Louisville were the finalists for Cunningham, who also reportedly received scholarship offers from Central Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, Rutgers, Virginia and others.
As a junior, Cunningham earned first-team all-Gateway Conference honors for his play at tight end. The accolade was voted on by all of the coaches in the Gateway Conference. Cunningham also earned Honorable Mention all-First Coast honors last season (incoming Hokie receiver Isaiah Ford earned first-team honors here in 2013).
247Sports.com ranks the Jacksonville native as a 3-star player and the no. 54 tight end in the nation in the class of 2015.
