Virginia Tech continues to be in the mix for Ashley High School (NC) stars Levin Neal and Geron James. Earlier this month, they received an official visit from Neal, who is a 5-11, 180-pound cornerback prospect with 4.3 speed in the 40.

“He visited for the West Virginia game,” Ashley Head Coach Dylan Dimock said. “He liked it. He said he had a great time. He enjoyed spending time with the guys and meeting Coach Beamer. He’s going to leave his options open right now, but he liked it.”

Neal, who has 8 written scholarship offers, may have more once he gets back onto the playing field. Neal suffered a dislocated ankle in a pre-season scrimmage and has missed the entire season. Dimock expects him to return in the next week or 2.

“A lot of teams are taking a wait and see approach with him,” Dimock said. “We’ll see what happens when he gets back from his injury. He wants to see who else comes in to offer. I know he liked Tech, but he also wants to see who else offers. He got offers from Virginia Tech, N.C. State, UNC, Maryland, Wake Forest, Duke, Clemson and South Carolina.”
