Guys, full story coming shortly, but I spoke just a little while ago with new Hampton (Va.) three-star ATH commit, Jovonn Quillen. He's first cousins with RB Marshawn Williams and that played a big factor in his decision.
Quillen said Williams has told him he's known that Quillen would pick the Hokies. Williams has said he's "waiting on me." Quillen said they played rec ball together and he's gotten to see Williams grow into what he is now. The line of Hampton Crabbers who have gone on to VT, like Williams, Tyrod Taylor and Deon Newsome also played a role.
Quillen played a number of positions this past fall, including quarterback, but he said he's not sure where he'll play at VT. It sounds like he could make a good safety for the Hokies, as he's bigger than the other three commits who will play cornerback. He said assistant Cornell Brown told him VT likes him on both sides of the ball.
Quillen had an Old Dominion offer, too, but said he's solid in his decision. He runs track and qualified for the 300m at the state indoor meet. That was supposed to be this weekend, but has gotten pushed to next weekend due to the snow. Because of that, Quillen said he'll likely be at VT's recruit stuff on Saturday.
