VT Showing Interest in Yeager

Virginia Tech’s interest in 6-2, 185-pound rising senior quarterback Emmanuel Yeager has increased over the past month or so. The talented signal caller is interested in Tech as well and plans to come to one of Tech’s one-day camps this summer in hopes of landing an offer.

“I’m going to get up to Blacksburg for a one-day camp to throw in front of Coach Beamer and the quarterbacks coach,” said Yeager, who completed 87 of 172 passes for 1,706 yards with 16 touchdowns last season as a junior at Ballou High School (Washington, D.C). He rushed for 428 yards on 69 carries as well.

“They got my film and they were real impressed with my film. They said I could make a lot of throws. I played in the spread offense last season and we were a wide open offense, so I had the chance to make a lot of throws. Coaches could also see me as a dual-threat. When the pocket would break down, I made plays with my feet.”

Yeager, who will attend Coolidge High School in D.C. for his senior season, currently boasts seven scholarship offers including several that have come this spring. The recent spike in college interest has influenced how he plans to handle the decision-making process.
