Today we’re going to take a look at Virginia Tech’s 2017 offensive recruiting class and compare it to past classes in terms of Power 5 scholarship offers.

2013, Carlis Parker: 4 offers
2014, Andrew Ford: 1 offer
2014, Chris Durkin: 5 offers
2015, Dwayne Lawson: 14 offers
2016, Jerod Evans: 2 offers
2016, Josh Jackson: 7 offers
2017, Hendon Hooker: 12 offers
2017: AJ Bush: 0 offers
