McPhearson Down to Three

Derrick McPhearson did not make his previously scheduled official visit to Penn State last weekend, and now plans on focusing his efforts on just three schools – Maryland, Florida, and Virginia Tech.

Currently, McPhearson admits the Terrapins and Gators may have the edge on the Hokies, primarily because he has never been to Blacksburg.

“I’ve said that Maryland and Florida are ahead of Virginia Tech, but that’s mainly because I’ve been to Maryland and Florida and I know what those schools have to offer,” McPhearson said. He makes an official visit to Tech this weekend. “I’ve never seen Virginia Tech before. Virginia Tech will be like a new world, and I’m ready to explore it. Hopefully things will go well and I’ll see what they have to offer.

“Heading into the recruiting process, I told myself I was not going to try to be biased. I want to give all of the schools an equal chance, and that’s what I’m going to do this weekend. It wouldn’t be fair to say I have any favorites, because I’ve only made one official visit.”
