Toms River (N.J.) North athlete Bryce Watts committed to home-state Rutgers back in March, but the Hokies aren't giving up on the three-star.
While he's comfortable with his Rutgers commitment - and anticipates being a Scarlet Knight come National Signing Day - Watts is willing to listen to what the Hokies have to say. The 6-1, 165-pounder can be a wide receiver or cornerback in college, and the latter is definitely a position of need in this class for VT.
He's not actively exploring his options, but thanks to the Hokies' persistence in recruiting him, there's a possibility that he takes an official visit to Blacksburg later this Fall. If the two teams' respective seasons go as it looks like they might (Rutgers settling in as one of the worst Power-5 teams in the country, Virginia Tech looking like a top 2-3 team in the ACC Coastal), there's a chance for the flip down the road.
For the time being, it's just a situation to monitor for fans, but this could develop into more.
