Lake Taylor (Norfolk, VA) linebacker/running back Purnell Sturdivant is close to setting up his first official visit, which will be to Virginia Tech.

“I just got off the phone with the Virginia Tech coaches,” said Sturdivant in an interview last night. “We are trying to set up an official visit there for the first weekend in December – December 5th. It’s not final yet though.”

The Hokies remain the leader for Sturdivant, who noted Syracuse and Clemson as two other schools heavily pursuing him above the rest. NC State, Tennessee, and Michigan are other programs showing interest.

“Yep, Virginia Tech is still my leader,” said Sturdivant. “I just like the program, the academics, and how they are winning right now. I really like how they communicate with players. They lead, but I want to take all five [official] visits.”
