Virginia Tech Football: Top National Signing Day Targets

4. Dazz Newsome, 3-star ATH (Hampton, VA)

The Virginia Tech Hokies are pushing hard for Dazz Newsome, a three-star athlete. Wide receivers coach Zohn Burden and company want Newsome at the wide receiver position. Newsome is ranked 68th overall as an athlete and the 30th-best athlete available in Virginia, according to 247 Sports.

At 5-foot-10, he serves as a potential threat on the Hokies’ offense to replace playmakers Isaiah Ford and Bucky Hodges.The Hokies have been strong in recruiting the state of Virginia this cycle with eight commits in this class already. Dazz Newsome is a coveted target for a number of reasons.

His brother, wide receiver Deon Newsome, is currently a member of the Hokies. His dad, Myrone, also played linebacker at Virginia Tech. With so much lineage in his background, it would be interesting to see if Dazz chooses the Hokies in the end.

Family is something the Hokies are familiar with. Terrell and Tremaine Edmunds, both rising junior linebackers, are a duo of brothers currently on the roster as well. In fact, 25 sets of brothers have played in Virginia Tech Hokies football history. Let’s see if Dazz can make it 26.

Currently, the Hokies are in a recruiting battle with ACC Coastal-rival North Carolina. Newsome leans heavily in the Tar Heels’ favor. All eyes will be on him come National Signing Day.
