Virginia Tech is making a big push for wide receivers in the 2016 class.  Samuel Denmark committed over the weekend, and if I were a betting man I would lay money on the Hokies adding at least two more receivers to this class.

[Note: Though Conner O’Donnell committed to VT and is listed as such, I hear through the grapevine that there’s a very good chance that won’t hold up through Signing Day.  For now, we will continue to list him as a VT commit, though for purposes of this article I’m not going to include him in the analysis.  O’Donnell committed to Mississippi State back in 2012 after his freshman season in high school, but that didn’t hold up, and I’m guessing it’s because he didn’t hold a real offer from the Bulldogs at that time.  Rivals.com does NOT list him as a VT commit.]

Tech took four receivers as part of the 2014 class, and two of them played prominent roles on the field as true freshmen this past season.  The Hokies couldn’t land a bigger receiver for the 2015 class, but did take slot prospect Coleman Fox.

When you look at the players eligible to be on the roster in 2016, it makes sense to add multiple wide receivers to this class.
