Quick Notes on Commit James Farrow

Farrow played cornerback, wide receiver and served as his team's kick and punt returner last season as a junior. On special teams, he averaged 46 yards per kick return and returned three kicks for scores. He averaged 15 yards per punt return as well.

Prior to Thursday's visit, Farrow told TechSideline.com that Virginia Tech was indeed pursuing him as a cornerback. Tech now has two 2011 commitments at the position, with Farrow joining H.D. Woodson (Washington, D.C.) standout Adeboye Aromire.

"I'm almost positive they want me as a corner," the Minnesota prep star said. "They really like my frame for the position."

I first heard about the Hokies offering him from MV about a month ago. He originally committed to Minnesota, but was still entertaining other offers.

The biggest takeaway for me after watching his highlights is he's a pure playmaker with or without the ball in his hands. His return skills are especially impressive. At any level, against any competition being able to separate from the pack is indicative of a great player. It seems as if Farrow has a knack for it.

In case you're wondering he's from Minnetonka, Minnesota. There will be jokes.
