The Latest On ATH Deon Newsome

Hampton (VA) junior athlete Deon Newsome , a 2011 second-team all-state selection at punt returner by the VHSCA, is holding steady with two BCS offers in the fold.  The 5’11”, 175-pound prospect updated the latest on his recruitment.

“Duke has also shown interest.  That’s pretty much it, besides the offers from [Virginia] Tech and UVa,” Newsome said.

Newsome hasn’t taken any visits since football season ended.  His focus these past few months has been on working hard to save up for his first car.  He’s biding his time on the recruiting front, though he says he “probably” will get to some college campuses this spring.  He also wants to attend a Nike Combine this spring, to show what he can do against other talented competition.

“I want to wait and see what happens,” Newsome said when asked if he planned to decide soon.  “I want to go through the process.  I just want to see what other schools come in.”
