Guys, I spoke earlier with 2017 Garner (NC) three-star DE Matthew Butler. He was just offered by the Hokies July 27, joining NC State.
Butler said he's heard from and visited Clemson and Georgia Tech. On Friday, he visited Wake Forest and he's also heard from Georgia and North Carolina. It sounds like proximity will be a factor, or at least, he wants a school that's within about six hours or so.
Butler participated in VT's camp on July 26, but the offer came the next day. Butler said he felt he had a good day and also had been in contact for some time with assistant coach Charley Wiles. Because of that, Butler said he "sort of expected" the offer. Butler said the talks have gone on since he had a big game around Thanksgiving last season. On his visit, Butler said he toured VT and liked the welcoming atmosphere. Butler also liked how Wiles and assistant coach Stacy Searels gave him praise and criticism, since each have perspective from opposite sides of the line.
Butler liked his Wake Forest visit, but it sounds like NC State will always be a team to beat, no matter who else offers. Garner is right outside of Raleigh and Butler is close with former four-star RB Nyheim Hines, who signed with the Wolfpack in February. Clemson, though is the offer that Butler said he's especially waiting on.
Long way to go here, but with Butler visiting, the Hokies getting in an early offer should keep them firmly in the running.
