Devin Radford did indeed commit to Virginia Tech while visiting for Tech’s senior camp last weekend. Radford, a star running back/cornerback for E.E. Smith High School (Fayetteville, N.C.), visited Blacksburg with his parents and is a member of Tech’s 2006 class.

“He did commit to Virginia Tech,” E.E. Smith head coach Milton Butts said.

Coach Butts says Radford “goes about 5-9 or 5-10 and weighs 175 pounds.” When asked what his star athlete’s primary strengths were, he replied “Speed, without a doubt. He has another gear. He’s real quick. He has a 38-inch vertical. Like I said, he runs real well and he’s probably one of the top cover corners in the area. He’s also a running back and we’re going to do some things with him there, also.”
