Virginia Tech football to host Class of 2025 3-star wide receiver from North Carolina Friday

The Virginia Tech football team will begin a hectic month of June recruiting one day early on Friday, May 31. Head coach Brent Pry will host a three-star wide receiver from North Carolina.

Nasir Newkirk from Greensboro, N.C., and Dudley High School, will be in Blacksburg Friday for a visit. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Class of 2025 wide receiver received an offer from the Hokies on Oct. 31, 2023. That same day, he also got offers from Old Dominion, Liberty, Georgia, and Charolrre. Newkirk also has visits scheduled with Duke (June 7), Virginia (June 14), and Liberty (6/21) and expects to make a decision in July.

Pry has been making some strides in the Class of 2025 in terms of recruiting, especially within the state of Virginia, while also making recruiting in North Carolina a focal point as well.

Nasir Newkirk explains what he’s looking to do during Virginia Tech visit

Newkirk, who carries a composite ranking of 88 by 247Sports, is looking for a school that fits his, academically and for football. 

"I look forward to getting to know more about what Virginia Tech has to offer for both academics and football, as well as meeting some of the current players to get a good understanding of what it will be like if I decide to attend Virginia Tech I also want to continue to pick [wide receiver] coach (Fontel) Mine's brain to see how he develops his receivers."

There should be no shortage of meeting current players in the wide receiver room at Virginia Tech with the retainment they got with Ali Jennings, Stephen Gosnell, Da'Quan Felton and Jaylin Lance all coming back for the 2024 season.

Newkirk released a Top 10 of Appalachian State, Charlotte, Duke, East Carolina, Georgia, Liberty, South Florida, Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Wisconsin on his X account back in April. As stated above, he still has scheduled visits with Duke, Liberty, and Virginia before he announces his decision.
