The Mavericks are led by Coach George Bland, who played football and baseball at Randolph-Macon University. His last visit was to the 2022 Spring Game on April 16th, and he committed to the staff there and announced his commitment six days later on the 22nd.Ībbey helped lead the Douglas Freeman High Mavericks (Richmond) to an 8-2 record in the regular season with the two losses to Hermitage and St. While he never visited Virginia Tech officially, he visited a few times unofficially in the spring. Richmond area recruiter and wide receivers coach Fontel Mines extended an offer to him on March 4th, following offers from ECU, Vanderbilt, Marshall, and Kent State. defensive end, has the physical tools and talent to play just about every position on the front seven, and is ranked as the 8th best player in Virginia according to On3.Ībbey had a quiet start to his recruiting journey but it started to ramp up towards the end. Fortunately for the Hokies, speedy Richmond pass rusher Jason Abbey has both. I don’t expect him to be a three star prospect much longer if his senior season goes well.The Virginia Tech coaching staff can coach technique, but they can’t teach great intangibles. Bottom line is that he has a lot of similar traits to what Jerod Evans had in 2016- though you could argue that the deep ball accuracy has the potential to be slightly more on point. I like his option fake, but I don’t like how loose he holds the ball away from his body when he runs.

When he can learn how to manipulate safeties with his eyes, that’ll do him quite well. I like that he’s already working on pump fakes. When he throws, he throws a nice spiral that he places quite well- and he will look to throw if the place is there for it. His offensive system is definitely a variety of spread read option, so he has that kind of familiarity to what we did last year going for him. His speed is good, but his balance and strength are better. He’s of course moving to get away from contact, but if it behooves him or he is incapable of getting around you, he will indeed go through you. Well, shiftier than that, but he DOES NOT CARE if you are in his way. He’s also got offers from Yale and Princeton, which is always noteworthy. Other schools that offered Patterson include Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi State, Missouri, NC State, UNC, and Penn State. Patterson is the fifth commitment in the class of 2018, and the second quarterback, joining DeJuan Ellis. ESPN has him unranked) three star dual-threat quarterback from Solorio Academy in Chicago.

Today the Hokies received a commitment from Quincy Patterson, a mostly-consensus (Scout, 247, and Rivals. It just goes to show you the kind of pull that the Hokies have now that Justin Fuente and Brad Cornelsen are running the offense.


I mean, I’m sure there has to be one SOMEWHERE, but there’s no record on 247 from their tracking of recruiting that any of our players came from Illinois. Um, am I reading this right? I can’t remember the last time that the Hokies got a player from Illinois, let alone Chicago.
