On Christmas Day, Marlboro County (Bennettsville, S.C.) wide receiver/tight end Tyrell Edwards came back on board with Virginia Tech, recommitting to the Hokies and accepting Tech’s offer of a grey-shirt opportunity. Edwards’ father, Bo Campbell, spoke about his son’s recommitment and updated the recruitment of his other son, Tariq.

A wide receiver/tight end/linebacker as a senior, Tyrell Edwards , a 6-4, 222-pound prospect with 4.65 speed in the 40, projects to play on the offensive side of the ball at Virginia Tech.

“Tyrell will be able to do wide receiver and tight end because of his versatility,” Campbell said. “Tyrell is a big kid who has played quarterback, tight end, wide receiver and outside linebacker for his high school team. Seeing how [Greg] Boone is being used, Tyrell will be able to play tight end but can be split out like a wide receiver so no substitutes would have to be made where he can catch and/or block.”

Along with his brother, Tariq, Tyrell accepted Virginia Tech’s offer of a grey-shirt back in the summer. But, in early December, he decided to de-commit from Tech to explore other options. N.C. State was the specific option Tyrell wanted to explore, as the Wolfpack staff indicated that they would at least host the South Carolina standout on an official visit if he were uncommitted.
