Virginia Tech Football Recruiting: Jerod Evans Commits to the Hokies

The Hokies and head coach Justin Fuente land a top JUCO QB prospect.

[Chuck Cox]

Quarterback Jerod Evans verbally committed to the Hokies on Saturday afternoon while in Blacksburg on an official visit.

Evans is a standout signal caller at Trinity Valley Community College (JUCO). The 6-4, 225 pounder completed 179-of-287 passes for 3,164 yards in 2015. He added 414 yards and four touchdowns on 77 rushing attempts. He set a Southwest Junior College Football Conference record for career touchdown passes (52). He also set a TVCC record for touchdown passes in a game (8), and tied the record for touchdown passes in a season (38). He was named the named SWJCFC MVP.

247Sports rates Evans as a 4-star prospect. According to Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports, Evans' decision came down to Virginia Tech and Missouri.

"Coach Fuente flew over last week to see him," Smiley said. "He knew about him the whole time at Memphis, knowing something might go down, telling him if our guy (Paxton Lynch) goes to the league you're our guy here. Then it was wherever we go you're our No. 1 guy. He takes the Virginia Tech job and not a few days later he flies to go see him."

Evans has two years of eligibility remaining at Virginia Tech, and according to his 247Sports profile he is an early enrollee.
