Fresh off a Virginia Tech visit for last Saturday's Frank Beamer BBQ, wide receiver Divine Deablo decided to end his recruitment and he verbally committed to the Hokies on Monday evening. For those of you not keeping track at home, Deablo joins LB Tavante Beckett and OL Patrick Kearns as the third recruit to commit after attending last weekend's major recruiting event.
"It has been in my head for a while but I still wasn't sure yet. At the barbeque Saturday they made it clear that they really wanted me and I could see that," Deablo told 247Sports.
"Coach Wiles, Coach Loeffler and Coach Burden make me feel like the best wide receiver in the world," Deablo told Rivals.com.
Deablo has a 5-star name, and according to ESPN is a 4-star talent. ESPN ranks Deablo No. 172 in the ESPN 300 and the Four-Letter's recruiting evaluation had this to say about his game.
STRENGTHS: Deablo is a tall, well-built receiver who can use his quickness to get upfield. Deals well with traffic and can be a quick, physical runner after the catch. Is shifty for a bigger receiver. Has upside to win on the jump ball. ... AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT: Can tend to catch the ball with his body and is not 100% confident in his hands yet. Can become a more polished route runner with more experience. Also needs experience with blocking. ... BOTTOM LINE: Deablo has the size and physical build to be a solid contributor. Experience should only help him become an even stronger player. Can play on the inside and outside.
247Sports and Rivals are less bullish on Deablo, and rank The Mount Tabor HS (Winston Salem, NC) product as a 3-star prospect.
Wide receiver was a major need for Virginia Tech's 2016 recruiting class. The Hokies didn't sign a wideout in 2015, and Frank Beamer recently noted the lack of depth at the position. Tech's already secured verbal commitments from Eric Kumah and Samuel Denmark. Fun fact: ESPN rates all 3 Virginia Tech wideout commitments as 4-star prospects. 4-star WR Tino Ellis will announce his decision Friday evening. As it stands now, it's a coin flip between Virginia Tech and Maryland. 2016 Bayside WR Phillip Patterson has Virginia Tech in his top group. Patterson will announce his decision on August 1. Tech's also in the mix for Florida WR Dredrick Snelson. Both Patterson and Snelson were in town last weekend.
