Gwynn Park (Brandywine, MD) athlete Rashad Carmichael was receiving interest from several ACC programs including Virginia Tech heading into the VT senior camp this past weekend, but he hadn’t received any offers yet. That all changed after his performance on Saturday.

“Yes, sir,” Carmichael replied when asked if Virginia Tech had offered. “They offered me after the camp was over. I just went up there and had fun. I talked to coach Ball before the camp even started and he said ‘if we like you, then after the camp we’ll offer’. I went out there and did what I had to do. I just had fun. I went up there with my teammate, Troy, so I felt comfortable. I felt like I was at practice.”

Carmichael ran a 4.49 in the 40-yard dash and posted a 4.26 in the shuttle. Tech was obviously very impressed with Carmichael’s speed and quickness and are recruiting him to play cornerback “and also a little bit of receiver,” Carmichael said.

As a junior last season, Carmichael was a key contributor for Gwynn Park head coach Danny Hayes. This season, expect bigger things out of the 5-8, 180-pound recruit.
