Bishop Kenny (Jacksonville, FL) tight end prospect Neil Basford was in Blacksburg this morning, visiting Virginia Tech for the first time. The 6-5, 235-pound rising senior arrived around nine and left for home around 12:30, but he was able to get a lot accomplished in a relatively short amount of time.

“I met Coach Newsome and hung out with him for pretty much the whole time. Coach Wiles is my recruiter, but he wasn’t there,” said Basford. “I met with Coach Beamer for about 30 minutes.

Basford discussed his overall impressions of the visit, which appears to have gone well for both parties.
